Yeah looks like the dinos killed off some of the coral and starting growing on the coral, I try to scrub whatever algae off everytime I see it grow back. I only added 1000 pods about 3 months ago when I added a high fin goby (who died) and havent seen pods at all even after I added them inCan you grab it with your fingers and pull it off? Is it on the coral? Could also use an old toothbrush (my favorite) if it’s not on the coral.
I would just do your regular weekly/ biweekly water changes if your going to do 6 gallons at a time.
How’s your pod population? IMO they are an important part of our CUC!
