Dlc27 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 When I first noticed this guy next to my micro he was on the backside, and it was difficult to tell what was going on, but it was obviouse the micro was shrunken and unhappy. I figured he'd move off. In the past thre days he's move around to the front and left a path of destruction. Is he eating the micro? I've tried pulling him off, but these guys are impossible to remove! What can I do? The first pic is the limpet as of 10 minutes ago and his path is the greyish area around the left side and all in the back that you can't see.... That used to be part of the micro. Just to clarify, this guy has never been puffy like my acans. He's always flat, but he usually has tentacles poked up at night, and his color is usually insanely vibrant.... Link to comment
ndrobey Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 A keyhole limpet is an algae eater, and what I see is it eating the algae on the frag. Unfortunately, it is running over the coral like a bulldozer in the process. You should be able to get the limpet off of there by squirting hydrogen peroxide at its foot. Is the frag glued down? A freshwater dip or coral dip should get it off. Link to comment
