Ok, best I could do with all the yuck in our frag/QT tank
Also, the bubbles retracted after messing with things around it....

Picture 3 looks like it's getting the same texture as mama

I still think I see a mouth in the little one, however the big one is at too much of an angle for me to see.. But it does look like it's growing towards the light, so that's a good sign!
Darn, I may have to try that scoly trick on one of my Cynarina to grow my broodstock! It should be able to work, since they are related, but I don't know if I want to try it yet...

Rich is still not convinced that it's babies

Flatworm exit will take care of the platys in the 2nd pic. @Lost in the Sauce and I have recently successfully battled and won.

Siphon out as many as you can first. Yeti straw with silicone end works great shoved into some hose.

Yup then treat... I recommend 2x the recommended dosage. Make sure you turn carbon off during treatment. Wait about 2 or 3 hrs before turning back on

Rich is going try to take care of it all today. He had the Salk mix tank pulled out to clean it and then had to go get another cortisone injection in his neck so he's been outta commission for the last week. I really hope it's not too out of control

Text me if you guys need any advice on those platys while removing. I've become a pro...

Thank you for all the help!! Not sure i'm going to fight them to much. My plan is to get all the coral out of that qt and move to another tank for a week before we pull them and place in the dt's. I want to reboot that frag tank because of all the algae and aiptasia. Time for a boom on that tank and all the equipment in it!

Should be able to get all the platys of the corals and plugs with just a ro dip correct?

I'm going to get more pics and try to clean up that plug as well when I move over to the new holding tank this week.

I would be using Bayer as the dip, not ro. Blowing all coral with a baster in the solution, aggressively scrubbing all disks to remove any possible eggs.

The more I look at it, the more I think that the bubbles are not babies, but growths like a bounce mushroom has. I've seen a bunch of different corals grow bounces in the past (Montipora and echinophora as the highlights), so it isn't impossible. I have seen bounces that are the same pasty white color as these on numerous shrooms and even some LPS, so for now that's my stance. A picture of the coral retracted could change my mind lol

The eggs are the problem.

I don't want no stinking eggs
