Yes, looks like it. Usually they are fine, unlessthey get into and on corals. It can choke them out.

Are you dosing your tank with anything? Are you feeding your corals anything? What are you feeding your fish, if you have some.

I feed them FUEL and Hikari Coral delight. LPS i give them small slices of shrimp once a week.

Fishes are given pellets, frozen mysis and nori.

I wouldn't be happy with that amount and the potential for further growth. They are fine in small amounts, but they also can spread everywhere. With those kind of foods, your tank is probably a little rich in nutrients.

should i cut back on my tank feeding regimen? nitrates max out at 10 ppm. ammonia, nitrites and P04 are zero....

how do i control their growth?
