Hello. I am new to the forum. I found this growing on my SUNY D’s and my Halley Berry’s. It’s brown and stringy. On the Halle berrys it just started, on the sunny d’s it’s been going on for a few weeks.

my water parameters have been.
pH has been steady at 7.2
NH3 0
Ca 330
dKh a spike up to 60 on April 27, but has been reducing slowly is now down to 13
NO3 5
NO2 0
PO4. .25. I know it’s high and have phosphate removers in , it is reducing slowly. (There was a spike on may 3 )
salenity has been between 1.024 and 1.027. Averaging 1.025 most of the time
temp 78 steady



I showed a pic to the guy at my LFS. he said it may be do to the phosphate spike. Does anyone know what it is? Or even better how/if I can get rid of it?

Thanks

Could be either of the stated above comments.

If you want you can do a hydrogen peroxide dip.

Or you can take them out, put in a container with water and scrape off your polyps with a tooth brush and toothpick or skewer and remove it then dip as well to fight it off.
 
Thanks I used a soft toothbrush and dipped them
