bali star with problem

[tashi]

Hi, I'm a newbie to marine tanks. My bali star started having some white stuff on it (see pic), looks as if it's getting worse. Could anyone identify the problem and suggest a solution, pls.

I have a nano tank (2x1x1.5f), 3 fishes, 1 anemone, 2 zoos and 1 mushroom. Have an external filter with strong water outflow.

Appreciate any help / suggestion.

You mean those white specks in the centre of the zoos?

I'm pretty sure they are normal for bali polyps. The white specks are one of their unique characteristics.

So not to worry. It's not fungus growing on them.

Hi bro, wats the orginal color of ur zoos?

Original colour was brown, beige in the middle, the white stuff wasn't there originally, sure looks like fungus to me.

By the way, I'm a sis, not a bro.

I know not many gals into marine tank.

Try to dip in fresh water for a 1-2 mins and shake it but make sure all zoos are closed b4 dipping it. Do u used iodine? Its good for soft corals.

cheers

I have seen zoos that look like that in lfs so I guess it's normal. Don't worry too much abt it as they're really hardy.
