Welcome to R2R!! Need to know a little more info on your tank. As stated above, water parameters to start. How long has the tank been running, do you use ro/di water, type of lighting? As stated, the euphyllia looks to be in big trouble and you definitely have an algae issue. Looks like you may have some macro algae which can be a good thing depending on what your goals with the tank are.
Mexican turbo snails are really good for hair algae and they keep my tank spotless! Your torch or hammer is a goner it looks like there’s no skin in the outside of the exoskeleton and it is very shrunk up :/Is it just the hair algae taking over?
I can’t get rid of the stuff. I pull it out by hand. The tank has been going for over a year. Haven’t had water tested in a while cause it’s not a new tank. I have some black stuff starting to grow on live rock.
Fish doing well. My coral tha looks real bad has been moved several times and never is happy.
I’m a rook.
Does look like hair algae. Would be a good idea to test nitrate and phosphate. These nutrients could be very elevated and driving your algae problem. Since you have a stony coral you should test alkalinity and calcium as well. These levels need to be proper for stony corals to thrive.Is it just the hair algae taking over?
