| growths on frogspawn?
so, the one frogspawn thats been giving me issues is now having more problems...
i just noticed small red spots, which almost look like red algae growing on some of the arms. some of the red spots have small white bubbles growing in the middle, which lead me to believe theyre going to form new arms... but i seriously question this possibility. any ideas what could be forming? i took pictures but you cant see the difference of the spots as they are just slightly darker than the actual FS.

My guess is flatworms.

The only way they can cause problems is if there are a bunch of them on it and it gets shaded from your light. There are coral dips you can buy to rid it of them. I have used one and it had no side effects on my candy coral. (pro-coral cure made by tropic marin)

im almost thinking just trading it back to my lfs for something else. ive known them for a loooong time and theyve always let me trade them for fish, etc... even unhealthy stuff. this poor little FS seems to be having nothing but problems since i put it in my tank, even though the other half of it is doing amazing. ill def try that stuff though before i give up completely
