Hello everyone,
I have some white stuff growing from my Frogspawn. There was some white spots before, but now it is starting to grow more and seeing more white spots.
Any help would be appreciated.

Feather duster worm, and Spirorbid worms. Harmless.

Remove tube worm which will steal some food and colonize and scrape off the spirobid worms which as you can see will multiply quickly and cover skeleton which abssorbs calcium much needed for growth.
Do this in a seperate container with tank water

Thank you. Now, can I just leave it like that? How do I prevent from spreading all over my tank?
Can I scrap them off?
I only feed my corals twice a week.
It it bothers you, you can remove them. A mature tank will always have them present, usually in a dark area, like a sump. They will not harm the coral, or your tank inhabitants.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
