Hello everyone! I have a slight concern as my GSP now has these black mold like spots covering it and melting some of the polyps it has been getting worse and worse and starting to cover my poor gsp. Any help solving this? Thanks so much in advance!

dang, if only i was closer haha, im just new to reefing and having a GSP island on the outskirts of the tank is a dream that sounds beautiful but this stupid mystery thing is dissolving my dream away :c
New tanks aren't the best for any coral. Have faith. Mine started on an island also and is now taking over my 90g. GSP is the cockroach of the reefing world. Nothing kills it.

oh, its been cycling for about 6-7 months before adding corals or fish so its not exactly um, a "new" tank so to speak. just its my first time touching reef tanks as i have only ever done freshwater, so 6/7 tanks are freshwater 1 is salt haha. but apparently whatever this is, is def killing it haha.
have mine on a rock as well and aptasia outbreak that seems to have stopped the spread for now lol
Free in Michigan again here too! Sorry about your issue though, I'm sure someone here will get this sorted out for you.

this seem like aptasia on mine too? Or no?
I wish I could have the curse of GSP covering everything instead of it melting away haha
Let's see if we can eliminate a few possibilities. The pictures aren't really clear enough and a bit too far away. The video is oh so short. At first glance at the pictures I was thinking perhaps some cyano (or some type of algae) that got blown loose and caught by the tentacals. If the GSP is "melting", maybe it is reacting to whatever is causing the cyano/algae outbreak. Then when I saw the video I also was wondering if that could be planaria worms. Can we rule out these possibilities?
