When I do large water changes, I have a large chalice coral (echinopora) that gets exposed to the air so it ends up producing a lot of mucus. When I fill the tank back up. This mucus flows throughout the tank. Last time, it ended up getting on an Acro and monti frag and killed some of the tissue. Should I just suck it up with a turkey baster or something?
 
I’d say a baster is good. My acros slime a lot and I just suck it up with a baster and everything’s all good
