When the polyps look like "pimples" they are a little bit out, not sucked in all the way. I'm sure they can still come out, but aren't for some reason. When things are amiss in my tank I do 25% water changes daily until they straighten out. Salt is cheap thankfully.

The skeleton has a purple - brownish color....I tried cleaning it now so we'll see.... But as Myka was saying - I am not quite sure that it is diatoms as the rusty colour would not come off....

I will do a water change tomorrow if they still don't come out by then.... Man - I LOVE this guy!

so I performed yet another water change and put it the little anti phosphate / silica tablets (by Seachem) to get rid of the hair algae / diatoms.

The polyps seem to try to come out.... the stems come out but do not open.... soon after, they retract again..... Not sure if it is a good sign or not
