Slime/Mucous web

[primetime]

On some of my leather corals and flowerpots I am starting to notice web like mucous strings. Can someone please tell me if this is a normal occurance or is it something to be alarmed about. I just recently started adding coral within the last few months. I do not have very high lighting, only 4@96w Power Compacts. Therefore, I am not adding many hard corals. Tank size= 110g 48x30x18. Please advise.


Thank you,

Yeah, they shed that so just make sure there's enough current (not necessarily direct) for the "shedding" to be slowly blown away.

Good luck!

Thank you Bleedingthought for the fast reply. I believe that I have enough indirect current. It is a relief knowing that the slime is a natural thing. :wink:
