Matteo Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I get rid of mine by having them burrow in their hole then super gluing over the whole > Link to comment
ward827 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks like an acan of some sort with aiptasia on the left. IMO, I'd try and get the coral off that plug or toothbrush that plug as best you can to clean it. Looks to me like a lot of nuisance algae on there. 2 cents. W- Link to comment

metrokat Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Could be a favia or micromussa. USe a blade/knife and scrape off the coral from the plug. Re-glue to rock or another plug. Throw away old plug asap. Even if you do not have glue or plugs, taking that coral off that plug and placing back in the tank while you get the supplies is fine. As long as you throw away that plug.

chrssprngs Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A little curious as to why you buy something without knowing what it is. Link to comment
Enigma Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 That looks like red turf algae. I don't know if that or the aiptasia is worse. Lovely coral though, and well worth the effort of removing it from the plug. I'm thinking it is an Acan. Link to comment

jec11718 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 remove coral, boil plug to kill nasties, save cleaned plug for acan frags in the future! Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 A little curious as to why you buy something without knowing what it is. Look at all the nasty algae all over his rock. That should answer your question. OP - research before you buy again. You need to know what you are buying and not just buy what looks cool. Pop the coral off(if possible) and throw away the plug. If you can't get it off I'd cut my losses and toss it out. Wouldn't risk getting aiptasia in my tank. Link to comment
