Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I am new to the saltwater world, and very inexperienced! I have a coral that was given to me, told it was a brain coral, but I'm not sure. Appeared healthy at first, but is losing it's color, and has a reddish/slimy algae growth on it. Is it dead/dying and can I do anything for it? These are before and after pics. Also I have small creatures scampering around the rock when I first turn the lights on. Seem almost shrimplike, but they're tiny. Haven't been able to find anything on the net that looked quite like them. Could they be amphipod/copepod?
