You trashed my PC Rainbow bad boy
I had a PC Rainbow that looked nearly identical to biocube14g's. I removed it from my system a couple weeks ago and did a heavy Bayer dip. I strained the contents of the dip and didn't see a single thing. Though the dip was negative, I trashed the coral rather than putting it back in the system.....it's a mystery and simply not worth the risk IMO.
Go buy a microscope and look at them under magnification. Maybe a new SPS pest will be named after you!A buddy has been treating some corals in a QT setup for AEFW. They are no longer believed to be present due to Bayer dips. However he noticed these black spots were showing up where ever there was skeleton exposed on the acros. Anyone run across this before or have an ID?
They do not appear to move. And as seen in the pic above, they are embedded in the coral skeleton. Initially I was thinking it could be algae. But in looking at other macro pics I've taken. It looks like it is in a tube.
No ID but as far as success, I did cut off a 1/2 inch above the receding tissue and where the black spots were and i haven't seen it again and that was almost 10 months ago.
