    I'm currently on my third day of cycling and I know that I shouldn't cycle with my lights on because of unwanted algae...however, I had a couple of hitchhiker corals and think it's best to leave the lights on for them...any suggestions???

    Any advise is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!;D

    What you are describing may also be a majano anemone. Google it and look through images. Atleast rule it out. They are a pest and it would suck if you were doing anything other than killing it.
