SaltyBuddha Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Got home from work to check out the tank and I found this on the side of my hammer. They are very small little white stalks with small fingers (?) coming off the tip. A few seem to be attached by a runner Quote Link to comment

Closest thing I could find are the foraminiferans. I'm assuming, hopefully safely, since I dont see it listed in a harmful pest site, I'm assuming it is not harmful Quote Link to comment

(They are not in the glass) i pick them them off with tweezers when they bother the coral. They seem to be slowly dying off on their own. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks guys I was trying to take a pic of mine to show you but they are so "wispy" they don't show up in pics. The info I have seen is that the brown ones are the worst. These kind come and go. I started picking them out and there are only a few left here and there. 1 Quote Link to comment
