Algae on coral

[Jorge Linares]

I have satosa with algae growing on it. Is the any thing I can do to get it off. Nitrates at 2 and Phosphate at .04.

I would dip it in revive.
A healthy coral shouldn’t have algae on the flesh.

Not sure what’s going on there.

Is it growing on the coral or is it on the skeleton? If it’s on the coral I’d blast it with a turkey baster and move it to higher flow. If it’s on the skeleton you will have a harder time getting rid of it and is the coral dieing off and exposing the skeleton.

I was wondering if that could be it.

I’ll try the blaster first. I think it’s flesh.

I've never seen algae grow on living coral tissue, only on sections where the flesh has reversed for what ever reason. Was the coral healthy prior to algae growing on it?

 

[Jorge Linares]

I’ve never seen it before either. The coral was healthy.

If you blast it off or shake it off, is the skin underneath gone?
