    What is this? Nudibranch?

    Anyone know what this stuff is??

    I accidentally bought caulerpa for my fuge and realised it could do this. When it starts to go clear that's the time to get rid as it starts to turn sexual. I binned mine and started again with cheato as I was paranoid it would go everywhere. But your brown stuff looks like the start of my dino...

    So basically they won't harm the coral unless they smother it? They look gross which is one of the reasons I got rid Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    What is this? Nudibranch?

    Yeah sniper hank I think your right. I did another dip and all those brown dots are the eggs I scraped off it. Must be about 100 of them! Are they AFW? Would the flatworms eat any corals? I've read they like acropora which I don't have thankfully ? Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

    Diatoms!

    So followed treatment for 6 doses and a large water change but I still have dinos on the sand and it seems to be starting to grow on the rocks again. I am starting to loose the love! do I need to remove the sand bed? Where do you think my extra nutrients are coming from as I have cut down to...

    Diatoms!

    So on the 4th treatment of dino x and looking about 70% dinos gone I am using 2x 200micron sock on the sump outlet pipe and swapping every few days. Water tests seem to have not changed at all. Corals are looking a lot more expanded and open and not strangled as much Sent from my iPad using...
