Not sure what it is but a type of fuzz is in my blue sympodium coral. Its only been there for a few days. Is it bad? Should I dip the coral? If so what should I use for a dip? Its only on this one coral none of the others in the tank.

Hard to tell due to focus and color of the pictures but I'd be willing to bet it's a variety of sponge. PS if that's not on an LR island of it's own or going to be surrounded by fairly aggressive/stalwart corals I'd recommend you consider moving it sooner than later. That stuff is the devil and impossible to kill once it starts to spread across primary aquascaping. Not quite as bad as green star polyp but a runner up..

Tank has been going for 5 months. It has cycled. I did contact the person i bought the coral from. They said the polips werent open fully and it was the base layer of the coral itself. He showed me pictures of others fully open and closed. Made sense once i saw the pics. So all is well.
