SRC Member ZmasonJ Posted January 26, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2020 Hi guys I need help. There has been algae on the skeleton of the scoly and because of that it seems like the scoly is unable to grow over the skeleton which has algae on it. Do you guys have any recommendations on clearing the algae on the skeleton so that it is able to grow back to its original size. The reason it shrunk that time for a Long period of time and allowed algae to grow on it exposed skeleton it’s because of a anemone which stung it.

SRC Member ryanlio Posted January 26, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted January 26, 2020 I use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush away unwanted stuff on rock, soft corals. Hope this helps. Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Mikey90 Posted January 29, 2020 SRC Member Share Posted January 29, 2020 You can try the above method as mentioned by others but you might want to look into another reason could be not using RO/DI then there's likely high phosphates in the water. which could cause algae to grow over skeletons/corals.

yakh0o Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 is it 0.5ppm consider high? I have some algae grow on my LPS like prata, scoly, lepto...and my tank if keeping 'meat' coral will see skeleton, my no3 is ~25-50ppm (having hard time to diff the color of the salifert no3 test kits) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
