It's called Neomeris Annulata.

Not sure how to combat it.

It would be cool in a display refugium.

Usually found in new aquariums and burns itself out after a few months.

It won't be there for long. It's part of a new tank cycling.

I've got those macros along with bornetellas. The neomeris died when I added corals since it needs a lot of calcium like halimeda, but my bornetella is still alive now
