I have a Domino Damsel with one of those nasty creatures attached to it for the last 3 days, and I mean a big one! I'm in the process of trying to catch it before it drops off and mabe lay eggs but the fis is just to fast. If worse comes to worse and all my fish are killed I guess I will wait the 3 month to starve them to death before adding more fish. Until then, I plan on letting the 30 or more red sponges grow out and the SPS that is also starting to grow. If I put some frags of assorted corral in my tank, will they be safe?

Yes they are a fish parasite only.

I would love to see pics of it when you catch it.

That's so fuzzy.

Get back to catching it.
Good luck.
