    that's bryopsis. Not good and doesn't just go away. You want to get it out now. I would sacrafice the coral that it's on before I would leave it in the tank

    thanks. I pulled the coral out last night and removed what i think is all of it. I cant sacrifice the little guy! I will keep a very close eye on it and if it does grow back i will keep plucking;)
