I believe astrea snails eat diatoms, but they will go away on their own so dont stress it too much,

Well, I believe I have Cyano... Can anyone confirm? It gets slimy and stringy. Also, is it common for palys to lay over like this? Are they getting too much flow?
Probably cyano but could be red bubble algae. It would eventually get more "bubbly" if it was. Emerald crabs clean bubble algae up really fast, in my experience.
I don't know about the palys. They look fine to me.
It's not really bubbly, it's stringy, like it starts to come off the sand and rocks in long stretchy strands. I've been thinking about getting another emerald...
Also, tested water today and ammonia was .5! What the heck? I keep going through small spikes then everything is good, then another spike... I think it's that dr tims one and only I used gave me a weird set of bacteria... Never again! :/
Ahh. That really sucks about the fluctuation. Hopefully you'll have a good set of natural bacteria soon and that will all end.
That def sounds like cyano. I love emerald crabs. Lol. They're my 2nd favorite next to porcelain crabs.
so what are you doung with the crab? or the corals? since they're not compatible
