been in tank for about a month. Has grown new polyps. From one and a baby to 3. It looks like a slime algae just curious on how to get rid of it. Thanks!

a 50/50 peroxide dip for 30 seconds or so should clear them up. maybe keep them in a higher flow area for a couple of weeks too. more cuc is probably needed. Hard to say with no parameters.

I had a slight nitrate spike. Like 10 ppm. And my all dropped like crazy. Am in the process of getting kits and will start testing and dosing asap. But this is the only frag that has this on it

Either use tweezers or a toothbrush to gently remove all of the algae and then see how they are doing. This is probably a temporary solution though as the algae will most likely come back. I would move to a higher flow, and maybe less light area.
