Trachyphyllia skeleton growing algae

[DerpinDiggles]

So my Trachy got stressed during a move and punctured it’s tissues with its skeleton and now algae has started to grow on it and it won’t fully inflate. Any tips?

Gently pull the algae off which is actually bryopsis. Important is to remove entire root at bottom then it shouldn’t return

You could try a peroxide dip too to kill the algae growing on the skeleton and then hopefully it will inflate and prevent it from growing back.
