    Not sure what the yellow thing is, but are you cycling the tank with a nudi? Please explain.

    Yeah they are hard enough in a mature, established tank.

    But i think the yellow thing is nudi poop or eggs

    My tank is 95% cycled and that is why the nudi is inside....water parameters are close to perfect...

    Should i worry about this?

    say goodbye to ANYTHING alive in your tank, it will nuke your tank. "perfect" for you but not a nudi i'm willing to bet. post every parameter you can test for.

    With that volumn of water I would not worry too much seeing as you have no other inhabitants.

    Run some carbon and do a water change ( significant ) prior to addition of anything else.

    do you not understand that its most likely going to die?

    and you'll need more parameter tests, especially if you wanna keep a reef
