I’ve had this Rainbow Pectinia Colony for about a month now. I now see numerous growths on the tips but also in other areas.
Is this normal? Or given color are the tips dying off and some of the Dino’s I’m fighting in the tank taking over ?. Color wise it looks like the Dino’s but it also looks like part of the coral and some fleshy areas have it. Never had a Pectinia before and before I get the turkey baster out and start blasting it to try and make sure I figured I would ask before ticking it off. Prior to the last couple days I’ve not seen this
In general I’m making progress with the Dino’s (they are not bad) and it’s being replaced with some green turf algae. Coralline is starting to lay on pretty decent on the higher parts of the tank. The pectinia is maybe around 1/4 up and ~200 par. Last week I turned the whites down a bit as the algae started to take off. Everything else seems happy save a nearby frogspawn that was doing great but is ticked today for some reason
Thx for thoughts on the Pectinia.
