I got a frag of Utter Chaos which has taken off from 2 heads to 6 in 1 week but it came along with a hitchhiker. (CyanoBacteria) it is only on this plug and spreading. I have already mounted the frag. What is the best way to stop this before it spreads to other stuff in the tank?

Any suggestions?

siphon it out, maybe increase flow to the area or make sure your parameters are in check.

Parameters are in check, don't want to increase flow in that area because then they won't open. I'll try siphoning just don't want to hurt the polyps it has 4 babies growing.

You could do a cyanno chemi clean dip for an hour. That should do the trick.
