Very odd situation, a new Rasta frag came in last week and all the polyps have been opening fine, but this morning one polyp took a massive dump and then opened with a film over the face and most of the skirt.

I tried blowing it off, and poking it off (gently), with no result.

I also encountered a similar film on a Bob Marley polyp a month or so ago, but that was only a partial covering, didn't affect the skirt, and cleared up on its own in a few weeks. Currently dosing KanaPlex for a potential infection on another polyp. Should I just keep doing this for now?

Phosphate a little elevated (.04-.06) and add iodide to the water occasionally
