I have this encrusting monti frag that keeps growing alage on one small area where I assume there is no coral growth. I pluck it off and it just returns. I'm wondering what would be the best way to get rid of the alage? 20220810_144923.jpg Thought about peroxide but am afraid that will damage the coral. Also considered a small dab of superglue. I'm not sure tho so thought I would ask those of you more experienced than myself. Or should I just let it go and maybe the coral will grow over it, but I've read coral won't grow over alage?
 
Same here, this guy fell into a hammer a couple months ago. I just hit it with a baster every now and then but would also like to know if there is something more I could do. It's still growing and healthy just not where it got stung. IMG_0336.JPG
 
Dig it out with a small drill bit, just where it enters the skeleton, it will then grow over.
That stuff repairs well.
