Wade Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I've got these white slimy tendrils all over the place in my struggling frag tank. Any ideas what it is or what causes it? File Sep 03, 12 26 11 PM.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Really hard to tell from the video. Candidates include coral slime, dinoflagellates, mucus from wrasse sleep cocoon. Scratching my head ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Most of the coral has perished in the transition from my DT to this little frag tank when I sold my tank with me house a couple of months ago. The slime is never ending. I clean it out and it comes right back. I thought about coral slime but I didn't think there's enough live coral left to produce this much slime. No fish and no dinos that I can see. Been scratching my head over too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Looks like coral slime to me when SPS are exposed to air, touching each other, or generally upset. Do you see any slime on the corals you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yeah it's hanging off of most of the coral skeletons that are in there so maybe that means those coral are bleached but not dead. So if it is coral slime, I just need to find out what's making them unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Have any good pictures of the corals with slime hanging off them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
