Hey I noticed there are some patches of red spongey stuff on my Duncan’s. When I brushed some off it looks like the Duncan’s white skeleton is exposed (pictured).Anyone know what this is? What should I do?

Can you explain more about what it looks like and does it come right off? Or is it hard to take off?

Oh thankyou!! That would make sense. I feed ocean nutrition flakes which are the same colour.. I think i need more flow too.
