I've been down with Covid and I basically ignored my tank for two months. Generally speaking, bad things happened. I have a lot of window scrubbing to do. I got an invasion of cyano and bubble algae. I went after that with Chemiclean and a 20% water change. While I was dealing with that, I noticed that the size of my bubble coral had greatly diminished. (It sits in the back corner. out off flow ... I typically see the bubble tops from the front.) Upon investigating, I realized that a purple ice tip anemone had split off and rooted itself inside my bubble coral.
My bubble coral is not fairing well. I tried to get the sucker out and it just went inside. I tried jetting water directly at the nem with a narrow tip coral feeder, no joy. I fear that this thing is going to kill my most prized and sentimental coral. I've attached a picture with first morning light, no tank lights on yet.
Any ideas on how to evict this little squatter?
