My Coral Quarantine Tank has been cloudy all of a sudden for two striaght days (it does clear up eventually later in the day). I don't use any sprays or cleaning products in the same room as the aquarium. All the parameters are in check, in addition to the coral I have two clown fish and some snails in the tank. When the tank is cloudy my Zoas close up and everything thing else kinda stays open. Could the Coral be spawning? I'm sure I have aptasia in the tank also since it is my Quarantine. Could that be it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Normally cloudiness in tanks come from one of three things: algae bloom, stirred up sand (fine particles), or micro bubbles.

I don't think it's an algea bloom, this tank is bare bottom and I have no micro bubbles. I do have what looks to be coralline algae everywhere on the rocks but could actually be some type of Coral.

Could this cloudiness be related to this other thread I posted? These things are everywhere on my rock, not sure if Coral or Coralline.
