Hi All,

I have been noticing these small bubble like formations on my stylo.
My parameters are all normal. No swings of any kind.

It is squishy to the touch and sort of retracts when touched.
Is it an algae? Disease?

Elevate this stylo. Looks like its lacking water flow and possibly light. Mine is at upper third and grows like crazy.

Thank you Vette.
It is mid way down on rockwork. I will move it up.
Do you think this could Be glass algae?
Its possible. Try blow it gently with a turkey baster to see if it dislodges.

It does not. It seems well stuck and gelatinous. I was thinking of pulling the piece and giving it a dip in peroxide or coral dip.
That actually would not hurt. 5-10 mins will be sufficient
