I didnt think much of it at first but now im starting to worry a little bit about whats going on with the base of my toadstool. I cant tell if its some kind of infection or if something is eating it away.

Theres some sort of brown/red pod that i can only find on the stem of the coral. Can anyone help in identifying the critter?? Do you think this is whats eating away the stem of my toadstool?

Awesome. Thank you for sending that link over, its most definitely a brown flat worm. They have that exact same concave tail. Ill start doing research on them now!
