Whatever. Just scrape it off outside the tank
Lawrence is taking care of chloramine. I'm just watching the leopard wrasse swim around the new image coral.
I did complete the rescue of a mushroom that popped off and have been nursing a zoa back to health. The learning process here is awesome.

Why didn't anyone warn us that Foxface's have a stress reaction that can make them look dead?
From this:
Oh. By the way, we are up to 5 fish. Lawrence came home with the foxface today (it eats bubble algae!) along with 2 more corals, and in a mishap with our wav, I surfaced a zoa that I thought I had lost.
More corals.
A miscreant Wav.
A bubbling PS (reaction to epoxy?).
And a hermit crab in a snail shell.
All is good. Ish.

You are correct, epoxy will make your skimmer go nuts for an hour or two.
Fox face looks scary.....I always knew fish could change colors, but my first experience was quite surprising to me and just how pale and white Mandarin gobies get. This happens to mine every night when the lights go out.
My friend google saved my sanity. I was about to pull it and get it in a bucket with an air stone - which, of course, only would have stressed it more.
The joy of being rookies with a 90g.

I remember the first time I found my mandarin after dark and it was super pale. It really looked dead.You are correct, epoxy will make your skimmer go nuts for an hour or two.

We have the rabbit face fox fish - that should do it! But he's missing it for some reason.

Updated photo!
We finally got some dental tools at AC and I start slowly picking at the bubble algae. Turns out the Sailfin Tang loves it. I do it about an hour before L usually feeds them so they are hungry. He's been doing 5 gal daily water changes to fix the salinity, so hopefully we've just been clearing it.
But how long does it take if it is going to reseed and get worse?
The rhodactus is my new favorite coral. We added another fun hammer, a handful of zoas and montis. We're hoping the switch to the new salt mix will amp up growth!
So much fun.
