Diatoms?

I can take a few months to get rid of them. Are you using RO water, and skimming right now? Not sure of your fish/coral load, or any of your specs, but you might also be leading in cyno.

Using 0 TDS RO/DI water for water changes and top ups. In my 30g tank, I have 1 randalls goby and 1 clown fish with bubble tip anemone. I also have various corals and a DIY refugium with chaeto in the back.

I have 2 turbo snails, 2 left handed hermit crabs, 5 blue leg hermits, 2 sand sifting snails and a cleaner shrimp.

well, the cleanup crew is in order...what's your maintenance schedule like? Diatoms do take quite a while to get rid of, infact I have one tank that always has a small number of them....

15% water change once a week. Here is a pic of it taken from my cell phone, hopefully the quality if good enough for you guys to make it out.

I actually had one a month ago, he would just sit on the sand and rarely ever put it in its mouth. It died after a week of having it.
