Please help ID and suggest a way to get rid of this stuff. It looks terrible and seems to be bothering corals. The zoos don't want to open with this stuff covering them. Is slimy looking. I don't see bubbles trapped underneath it. I vacuum it out and blow it off the rocks and is back within hours.

Looks like diatoms. Increase flow and run a lil phosguard will help pull silicates out of water. How old is the tank?

WHAT’S YOUR MOST MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE WITH A CORAL THAT LOOKED LIKE IT MIGHT NOT MAKE IT?

I’ve seen a dramatic comeback. I would have sworn it was a goner

A slow recovery, and it got back to looking healthy

It came back some, but never looked as good as it used to

I tried to save one, but it didn’t make it

Mine is still struggling...no comeback yet

I’ve never had a coral in serious trouble

See, this is why I don’t keep corals
