Hey INNEED...can you tell me what this is? It looks like a big asterina in my tank, on the glass...

Can you see it?

 

[Chraddam]

sorry, couldn't help myself

 

[JimmyR1rider]

I dont know Chraddam....may be getting old and need glasses I saw it LOL.....J/K.

And Inneed if it grows back on the ceramic plug you can transfer the palys onto a new plug that way you can keep the corals- if you like them a lot, otherwise if you didnt pay a lot for them but is a living creature so maybe transfering to a new plug would be the best of both worlds

lmao chraddam i see it! its that fish n the water right?.

i still dont see bryopsis anywhere. i guess i just dont klow what im looking for lol

 

[jerl77]

good luck i have fighting it for months now i tryed tech m etc etc pullied it out by hand nothing works i am taking all my rock out and starting over GET IT OUT BEFORE ITS TO LATE:banghead:

 

[Awibrandy]

INNEED, I am with you. I wouldn't ditch the frag, but I would MOST CERTAINLY ditch the rock/disk/plug that the frag is on along with that bryopsis. Remove the coral from the rock, and glue it on a new plug.
No sense in taking a chance with bryopsis...............................

 

[INNEED]

k i ditched the frag post and glued this to a rock lol once i scraped it off woke up this morning looked at the frag post that shyt was growing again anit wanna take no chance

 

[INNEED]

[JimmyR1rider]

yeah better safe than sorry. Sacrifice one so many will live bryopsis free. lol

INNEED....If I were you, instead of just getting rid of the algae, I would also consider why the algae grew so quickly in your tank....chances are you did not get every last bit of the algae off the frag/plug/rock, and it may very well grow back...also, in the future you will be getting more stuff(you seem to be a big buyer of coral), and you will certainly get more algae on rocks/frags.....keep you water in check and the algae will not be able to thrive.

And limit your lighting. AND a new clean-up crew wouldn't hurt in the upgraded tank.

Guys it was only on the plug. Bryopsis isnt like green hair algae or cyanobacteria- it came into his tank as a hitchhiker and he ditched the frag and no longer has it in the tank. Someone else had posted about bryopsis- that they had tried everything to remove it- from plucking it out to removing the rocks and scrubbing them- to no avail. Thankfully he got rid of it before it grew or seeded itself anywhere else in the tank.
