I just bought a purple stylo frag, it has a big bubble on it. How do I go about getting rid of it without spreading it to my tank. I know the first thing should’ve been not buying it in the first place but it was covered and I didn’t see it so what’s next? If I just remove it will it grow back?

Fill a container with tank water , pull the coral out and knock the bubbles off hopefully without poping them. Swish the coral around in the container of water.

If you want , add a small amount of peroxide to the water and let it sit a few minutes , then rinse in another container.

Especially if you pop them. They release spores if popped.
