FarmerTy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 If you cycled the tank with the corals in it, then they are probably pretty ticked from the ammonia/nitrite levels in the tank during that time. I see at least one button polyp open so it looks happy enough to survive is my guess. The thing on the glass looks like a clove polyp that has attached. But I'm just taking a swing for tthe fences as it's a really grainy picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I think it's a tube work which is a filter feeder but I would remove since they multiply like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Alright, you buy lunch if it's a clove polyp. Waderaid, we'll need confirmation in a couple weeks when that thing is happy again. [emoji12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waderaid Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I really appreciate it. It was close to the powerhead and I think it got dislodged by a snail or hermit. I have another question if yall don't mind. The live rock I got has a mushroom coral on it and it looks like a piece of aluminum foil is caught in it. Should I try and remove it or let it be?

Dan H Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 If it's actually aluminum foil, then you absolutely should remove it. Any metal in the tank is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 +1, metal and reef tanks don't mix usually. Though on a random side note, my Al level in my tank is 86 ug/l, about 20x the average concentration in natural seawater with no issues. I can't say what form of aluminum it is though but probably an inert one by my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
