Rainbow Trachyphyllia showing some skeleton after removing cyano :(

[ZippysFunLand]

Hi,

I've had this Rainbow Trachy for a few years now. The spot in the back right has been known to grow a bit of cyano and I brush it off from time to time. I brushed it off today and saw some skeleton underneath it. Any advice on what I should do? Should I try grinding it down with my dremel? Should I brush the bit of Green Hair that is left behind this time, or should I just leave it be?

Thanks in advance.

I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum. I'm not really sure what trachy's are classified as, SPS, LPS, etc etc... certainly not a soft coral. That's for sure. LPS is my best guess.

I would just leave it for now. If it gets worse you can put it in a low flow low light area but i definitely wouldn't take a dremel to it.

I would remove the hair algae, if possible by hand or gently with a tooth brush. You may lose that area where the skeleton is showing but the rest should be fine. I would try to feed it.
