Trying to Identify whether I have A. Coral growth at the base of my rainbow acans B. Algae on the frag plug of my torch coral (or Hydroid?) and C. the clear algae branching like growth in my sump basket.
Reef is 264 days old. No changes going on other than I've been lax for about 3-4 months without doing weekly testing. Just occasionally dosing alk/mag/calcium when I remember (I know, don't shame me). 30% Water changes every ~10 days or so maybe?
Livestock all appears alive and I have a healthy copepod population. The fish (especially Helfrichi firefish and yellow watchman goby always have fat stomachs from eating pods all day.
Light is ecotech radion G5 XR15.
Is this just more skeleton growing out the base of my acan? I poked at it, it gives a little bit like firm rubber.
Here is the other side of the acans, it looks like the structure is branching and attaching to the live rock.
Algae or is it a hydroid ???? on the plug for my torch coral
Some clear algae like growth in the sump basket:
