Hammer coral - brownish round hard… things on frag plug.

[twoinchhammer]

Firstly hi! This forum has been immensely helpful so far.

I’ve had a 16 gallon long running for 14 months or so. Salinity 1.026, phos .07 nitrate around 10, no ammonia, no nitrite. 4 gal water change weekly.

I picked up a hammer coral today and it has these hard, brown fish egg looking things on it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Bubble algae - it’s generally recommended that you get rid of it, as it can be pretty invasive. Since it’s just on the one coral there, manual removal should be pretty easy.

Huh. Wouldn’t have expected it to be hard!

Thank you! I’ll get right on removing it.
