    I don't mean the polyps sorry about that. It's growing on one polyp and is all over the rock

    How old is the tank?

    Might be a simple overload of nutrients
    It is not that bad........

    Like 6 months.

    It just started showing up, over the past 3 days. I had a bad case of diatoms after adding a new ph, they just cleared and now this is popping up. Will it be a problem with the polyps? Should I blow it off

    It doesn't look to be a big deal. Is it only on that rock. I would start to get worried if it was all over the tank. Im not sure what its from though. I don't really know what Im looking at in the photo. All I see is polyps ha ha

    are you using any GFO in your filtration system?
    its a phosphate absorber and does help IME

    Its not bad, but the use of some GFO , may prevent it getting worse
