First picture is a mushroom looking thingy. When the lights are on, there are tubes that come out with green tips.

Second. It's got a rought texture. Algae coving it starting to die off and get eaten. large brown tubes coming out.

Last picture is starting to look like an Acan. I'm not to sure, but more and more of the algae is "falling" off of it. The white areas are what I believe to be the Acan heads. The darker stuff I believe is algae thats covering it.

The main reason for this post is how to revive it. A few days ago, I couldn't tell what it was. But now that the heads are clearly seen, I'm wondering if I need to do anything. I see little color coming to it, but otherwise right now it looks like a clear...well, seethroughthingy.


Also, those clowns are different colors. I didn't notice at the store, but was also wondering if they are the same kind of percs. The bight orange one was the largest in the tank, and the off yellowish one was one of the smallest.

just googled ricordia, its possible. there isn't much to look at right now so I cant say for sure.

Ill have to wait until tomorrow before I can grab something for the dipping. Any recommendations?

Should I dip everything with stuff growing on it?

1st is a toadstool. Second and third I really can't identify. Algae is growing over a coral is not a good sign and I do not know if dipping a coral with algae will have any affect. Coral Rx is a dip I use.

My friend had stopped maintanence on his tank when most of his corals died.

Everything was setup last week, and slowly all of the algae is dying off. Before, most of the frag peices had algae all over them, but started showing signs of live in the past few days.
