If you do treat those mandarins you'll need chloroquine phosphate. Mandys are sensitive to copper treatments, it would probably do them in.

Very true. I usually just FW dip them, and observe with a few Chromis in the tank. Butterflies aren’t to fond of copper either, but if they stay eating they will do just fine.

Found another hitchhiker... purple mushroom. It's on the tall rock with the purple mystery polyps. That rock has a lot of purple on it.

Led strip came in, it's petty bright. We'll rig it up to the Somatic reactor and make a chaeto reactor when we get some time off.

Are you sure those “polyps” don’t like like so:

If so, that may be a cause for concern.

Maybe, probably purple clove polyps. If they spread to uncontrollable, I'll kill them with fire... aka fenbendazole. Right now, they're kinda cool.

Decent close up... they don't like blue light, or they know it's almost bed time.

Looks like a Clive of some sort. Cool hitchhiker though!
I like fire! Puts things in their place.

Not what I wanted to come home to... :(

Everyone else is fine, ammonia is 0... idk what happened.

Dis-like. Poor little fellow. Sorry to see.

Hopefully this bad run turns around for you soon. The live rock is going to help get you stabilized.

Let's cheer things back up, huh? The forest fire is doing very well. Starting to see just a little growth.

Tiny Tim found a new home. Look close, right at the bottom of the lobo, in the fold...

And holy smokes... @Zack Klabunde, this is your fault. You spoke too soon. Hahaha... I guess they got comfortable. It actually looks kinda neat and they won't bother my SPS. Only concern are zoas.
