From what i see is its the actual polyps turning white. Or could be ground under then pushing the heads!

Looks like pineapple sponges to me.

From my first observation it seems like there is some sort of anemone or Sponge bothering the colony.

If sponge, how do you usually deal with it?

Toothbrush, gently brush them off into another container.

Tweezers for the sponge under water
Bleaching is not the same as tissue loss for the sps. That looks like tissue loss.

used the tweezers to eliminate them. As for the tissue loss should i leave it as is? Or frag whatever is still good?

Just leave it for now, if it improves it will encrust back downward. Remember SPS harder to keep so they'll likely not look happy if things aren't as stable.

Tank update since it’s been a while.

Added some new corals and started dosing All for reef.

Happy of the progress of the tank.

Three months in and the tank looks great!

How are your sps doing? I know you wanted my dbtc. If they are doing well you are welcome to it.

They are doing much better since i started dosing. Id be happy to take it and grow it.

Unfortunately i chipped my tank last week when i was moving. Worst part is that it happened at the end when I was unloading to new place.

Pros is that i was able to get all my corals, live stock in the costco bin and they are doing fine. Happy i didn't lose anything.

Plan. Look for a new tank since i am not comfortable trying to fix it especially because of the red sea seam reputation.

I was looking at the IM75Ext last night but wanted to get more input from all first.


last picture is of the space i am working with.

Thanks all in advance.

What a bummer -- someone is giving away 90gl tank/stand - https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/free-oceanic-90-gallon.35393/

The IM 75 ext is pretty sweet!
