Hi guys and gals, I’ve noticed this weird growth on my lobo recently and I have no idea what it could be and if it’s serious, has anyone seen this before? It’s like a spot of algae but there seem to be these circular shapes inside the patch

Looks like a small cluster of tunicates related to sponge. If you want it gone, inject with vinegar
 
Id say no. I had a sponge on mine and it was fine but problem is some secret a mucus and the one i had ate a chunk away from my skeleton
Okay appreciate the help, is it possible to remove it manually with some tweezers and a scalpel or is vinegar my only option?

Last time with my white sponge i just took my finger and threw it off. Don't kill it as if its body gets into the water its not good
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
