couple questions


so, first off ive got some macro algea that is gettign a very lightbrown/green fuzz on it. what is this?

will my BTA kill my corals if they are touched by it? flower leathers, pumping xenia, and a coral very similar to a capnella (litophytum?) (its wandering a bit and im goign on vacation in a week. so it may go out the window)

also my clownfish's top fin has alittle bit of white draggin of it and it looks a little smaller than usual (the fin not the fish) what is this and what can i do for it? (i havent been able to do water changes because imt estign to see fi the tank is leaking or not, i probably could do that now.

thanks guys --Erik

where is the macro? in tank or in a fuge? either way, it is probably starting to grow a bit of hair algae in it, and thats kinda common.

the anenome will kill corals that it touches, sorry.

for the clown, im not sure, but sounds kinda like a infection of some sort. could be lots of things.

ok, well i can try cornering off the anenome in the tank with a couple acrylic walls so that wont be too bad. any more ideas on the clownfish? i thought hair algea was more of a darker green, this is kind of like mucus im seeing.
