I recently had what I think is an algae bloom in my 1yr old reef. It has since cleared up today and now looking closely, my hippo tang is scratching a bit on rocks which is most likely ich. Could be from stress from the bloom.
However, my coral beauty fish has a white spot on its head which I know obviously is very bad but not exactly sure what it is or if it is treatable.
Corals have also diminished a bit. My birds nest has some spots where it is like raw and no polyps.
All leathers such as Kenya trees and finger corals all do not look right either. As well as my Duncan.
That being said, some of my acros look to be ok so I just don’t get this.
I did a full test of literally everything (besides minor minor elements) and nothing is off.
Ph:7.8
Alk: 8.7
Phosphate: 0.06
Nitrate: less than 5ppm
Calc: 450
Mag: 1400
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite:0
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
