Hello everyone so I recently had luck saving a torch coral from BJD although the methods had to be drastic and it lost 2 of the 3 heads it had. However I am worried the rest of my tank may have become contaminated in the time it took me to remove and isolate this coral in my isolation tank. I am noticing odd strings of some sort of matter coming off a lot of my torches and hammers
Pictures of the strings of material. Doesnt look like coral poop nor does it look like BJD but ive also never seen it before. Looks similar to when they eat and secrete mucus but I havent fed them in a couple days. Some of the strings are quite long and have some chunky bits for lack of a better term.
40 gallon tank
Ph 8.1-8.2
Phosphates .1
Nitrates 0-5
Calcium 440
Mag 1250
Alk 9-10
Salinity 1.026
I dose 1-2ml all for reef daily for trace elements and to minimize up keep amd test weekly to fix levels and water changes.
Based on the tests ill dose reef fusion 1 or 2 as needed or separate elements as needed.
