You, sir, are lovely :)
AND, I just saw that there a whiter version of it that I have although been trying to ID. Thought it was hydroids because of the branching pattern.
Thanks!!
PS. is manual removal the best option for getting it out?

Hahaha I feel like I'm OCD when it comes to cleanliness because I'm still new, ya know. I've spent all this money on frags and I don't want to lose them

I did too but then when I upgraded the frag tank, I started having all these issues :(
Never lost one till I did that. Other than experimenting with fragging lol

eh, well theres a weird thing youll hate. every time ive set up a tank, even taking it out of one tank a dropping it into another, "transfer style", theres weird little issues. total mystery.

I have a friend who sells the HIGH end zoas at shows and stes up tanks 20 times a month. no clue how he does it.
Pretty sure its the palytoxin in his bloodstream.

Haha has to be that, it's the only logical explanation
