As the title says - I don’t know why I looked at my take at night with a flash light, but I made a discovery I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed. Any idea on what it could be..? Good? Bad? Coral seems to be in for health with no ill effects.

Several possibilities come to mind. Could be brittle star arms, a spaghetti worm (often people call hair worms spaghetti worms, but true spag worms have only 2 tentacles), or another worm or barnacle that the monti is hosting.

Or, none of the above, lol. Watch to see if the monti seems irritated by them and if not, consider it a bonus critter :)
