    Cant see the base but it is probably aptasia and you need to kill them all if they are spreading. sooner the better....

    You can use aptaisia X or i use kalkwasser.

    Wait for a few other second opinions though just to make sure. It always a good idea to get a second opinion;D According to my wife, im wrong quite a bit
