BTA caught in my pump

Padawan · Dec 9, 2020

Hi guys, just general question, I hope I posted it in the right section. I had a bubble tip and two corals, euphyllia anchor and euphyllia glabrescens in a small 10 gallon quarantine tank. I took them out of my main tank because they weren't looking so well. I thought it would be easier to control my water parameters as my main tank had a nitrite/phosphate problem. Anyways, both my bubble tip and corals looked to be doing fine until my BTA got caught a in the pump. I did a complete water change the instant realised the water was cloudy but i'm concerned that what ever was in the bubble tip i.e nematocysts might have the potential to kill off my corals. I'm sure i caught it in time but I've read a lot about BTA's completely nuking a tanks in similar situations. Are my corals going to be okay?? I took a photo of them afterwards.

Thanks in advance guys!

Had this happen once before I would suggest on running some carbon for some time until everything clears up and continue to do water changes. Would just keep monitoring everything and should be okay!!
