Moving Coral from Tank 2 /with Cyanobacteria to Tank 1

[RaymondL]

I have a second tank that is relatively new and have been using it a holding/quarantine tank, and it's now infested with Cyano bacteria. I don't want the corals to be overtaken by the cyano, so I'm wondering if I move them to the first tank which is completely clean, would this bring over the Cyano and infect the tank?

The corals are on a frag plug stuck on the side of the glass, and one coral is high on a rock, so all these corals are off the substrate, which has the Cyano.

Thanks

Try to manage the situation with water changes and testing. Your main tank might be able to handle the stress

Cyano is everywhere. It's the tank conditions that allow it to become a problem...

If the cyano tank only has coral (no fish), you can move the coral to a bucket or other container and deep clean the tank. After you put the corals back, make sure you have enough flow - cyano loves low flow areas where detritus can settle.

Thanks - I'm wondering if there's any inverts that's proven to consume cyano. I don't even know now if this is Cyano, but I'll take a picture and post in another thread.
