hi i couldnt take any off my corals back so i am going to have to see how they get on, my anemone died as expected and one of my corals has got a white buble growing on it. can anyone tell me what it is? i am addind the right supliments to the tank for them and am feeding them on plankton.

If I didn't know better I would call that an infamous "brown jelly infection".

....I don't know better, actually.

That disease/whatever it is is extremely acute and difficult to cure. You can give the coral a dip in a commercial coral dip product, or cut away the infected side.

Although as I have inferred, I am not quite sure that that is what it is, it has never occured in my tanks, and I have read only very little about it.

Tough to say as the pictures aren't the best. Is the bubble still there just before your lights come on? Its either a feeding response or an inflammatory response. Has it been growing, shrinking, staying the same?

i think its getting bigger, its like a white bubble

Well, thats more like an inflamatory response. You may have to frag it to save it but from those pics I just can't tell Try doing a google search for "brown jelly coral infection" and see what comes up and see if that matches what you've got.
