EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Dang, I have no idea what that it, I’ve never seen that before? Quote Link to comment
holy carp Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I have those and find them on any dead bit of coral skeleton within a day or two. I think they just clean up the dead tissue and live in the nooks of the skeleton. I don't think they go after healthy coral flesh, but it's hard to say with certainty. I have no idea what they are. FWIW if you look at a bit of recently deceased coral skeleton, there is an amazing variety of critters going about their business. I never know who is friend or foe, but I don't think there's much you can do to get rid of them. Quote Link to comment
