I just caught up on some deferred maintenance after having houseguests for a few weeks, and everything seems fine except for this one purple Acro, who looks ticked. Video taken under low light just before lights fully out.



Maintenance was light: 5% water change, cleared algae out of the overflow, moved one frag on a rock on the sand, emptied skimmer cup, and pruned some chaeto in the sump.

Is this slime anything to worry about? Haven’t seen it do this before.

All other corals, including another Acro (frog skin) and other SPS seem fine.
