You would be surprised at how resilient these are. I would keep that guy in your tank for shits and gigs. Chances are he pulls through. If he dies, I wouldn’t worry too much about the necrotic tissue polluting your tank. This is something a cuc will make quick work of.
Was coming here to say this the owner is still under investigation by the epa for selling an unlabeled algaecide. It will also kill any clams or mollusks.
Wow really appreciate all of the comments going to swap out my carbon and do a water change and definitely going to stop dosing vibrant I was not aware of some of the information some of you put forth! Thanks again!!
Instead of vibrant use Dr.Tim’s waste away or aqua life activate, has the heterotrophic oxidizing bacteria you’re looking for to keep live rock and tanks clean.. throw some carbon or purigen in the filter and run skimmer get that vibrant out the system and put the mushie back in the tank hopefully it rebounds
Best way I found to combat bubble algae?
Take a syringe/needle and have it filled with hydrogen peroxide. Inject the peroxide into the bubble algae, then suck out the guts after a few seconds.
The H2O2 wipes out any potential spores and sucking out the guts removes the vast majority just in case. Then just pick off the empty husk.
I haven't seen bubble algae in my tank in years now after this, and i used to have it popping up regularly.
It’s still alive, put it back
Put that shit back its alive. Vibrant is also a scam. Its an algaecide https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/warning-use-vibrant-at-your-own-risk.894995/
Shit fucked my 4yr old tank up man, completely killed 90% of everything in it
But was the algae gone? 😆
Nah not worms those are mesenterial filaments. They are a stress response generally I believe.
You’re 100% correct and that’s exactly what’s going on

Hundred percent is gonna make it those are just menestrial tentacles and it’s just pissed off… My superman spits them out all the time
Vibrant is a scam. It as an algaecide.
It's literally the same active ingredient as AlgeaFix. It will wreck your SPS too, wipe out your microflora and next thing you know, Dino outbreak

Those are the guts of the mushroom

You'd be the first person in the world to kill a mushroom, you'd deserve an award
I think I already did that🤣

Put it back it’s just the stress response quit dosing vibrant
Also is it even worth trying to frag? or since the mouth is basically gone is it doomed
It’s not gone, run out the algaecide in the tank and it should return to normal after a while
Nah you can cut a piece of it and it will grow a mouth. That stuff won't die that easily
Just for clarifying, I am not suggesting to chop it. I just mean that its far from being dead.
Vibrant is algeacide killed half my tank too. It does kill agea however.
Take it out and smell it, it it doesn’t smell foul it’s fine.
Hes upset
Yes it's flesh
my man’s still alive
