Symphllia problem

[Wheelman76]

My Symphyllia has some algae growing on the skeleton on the outside of the coral and some on the skeleton in between the folds. It's a yellow ish green color algae that coats the skeleton , it's not hairy at all so I can't just pick it off. It also had a little bit of bubble algae which I have removed. It's only on the skeleton but I think it is iratating the flesh and causing it to not open fully in spots. Is there a safe way to remove this? Some sort of dip maybe?

Here are a couple pics , very hard to see as I just took the pics with only the blue lights on.

At night take a turkey baster and blast the algae off. Be care and have some thing to us k it out of the water. If the brain is still coming out your okay.

With the consistency of this stuff , I would not be able to blow it off with a turkey baster. Its stuck on there pretty good.

And out of curiousity , why at night?

[lpsreefer]

As with most brains they keep there tissue in at night. The tentacles come out. But they are out to catch any food that might pass.

Anyone else? Will a dip in hydrogen peroxide kill the algae?

More pics might help.
