Urgent Whats Wrong with my CUP!!!!! HELP!!!! PLEASE!!

I don't know what is going on but my cup has algae all over it and something doesn't seem right can i get it off and is it bad for the tank???

Pictures Below

 

hmm, maybe a type of cyano? but that would come off easily.


Is it spreading fast, or very slowly?

 

Well i am not at my dad's all the time since my parents are divorced so i would say it went form small to big in about 7-8 days... but the stuff just looks so un attractive and is on some of the polyps at the bottom of them..

 

It could be a weird form of algae. I have seen similar stuff grow on tank walls and rocks.

I wouldn't worry about it unless the coral looks to be suffering, or inundated with this stuff.

 

Well one Polyp died... so i don't know if that matters but i know Algae + Coral = Bleach because the algae attacks them... learned it at camp

 

I have no experience with that coral..but when I see algae growing on something, if I shoot a little extra flow it's way it usually clears it out.

 

I was thinking of moving it up...

 

Moved the cup Coral

I moved the cup coral from the lower part of my tank to the middle.. Pictures below..

 

Scape looks great, keep track of the algae, you might try removing it with a toothbrush when you do a water change

 

Thank you i love my scape to hehe.... i will try to keep track of it my dad leaves Friday and doesn't come back till Monday and i will be back about 8:00pm Monday night so i will take a picture tomorrow and on Monday night and compare them to see if the algae moved...
