    Hey all,

    First off I have some sort of brown fuzzy stuff that is growing on and killing off my GSP. It can be picked off easily and I have been trying to remove it from the coral.

    Also I have this random piece of SPS that I got with some zoas that died off. I grew it from a few polyps and have absolutely no clue what it is. Its a green color under white light

    As for the brown fuzzy stuff, probably some sort of diatom. The unknown coral is a porites species

    Try blowing it off with a turkey baster.
