I've got two walling hammers, I've had them for probably 6 months. I've never seen any euphyllia morph in this way. Any thoughts? Is this a disease? I have dipped them both in the past and no pest have fallen off that I could see.

What are you dipping with?
Do those little dots move? They look like flatworms

I am dipping with coral rx. The dots do not move, they are fixed into the tentacles, as well with the distortion of the tips of the tentacles. I have dipped and found euphyllia eating flatworms off of past corals, this I could say with absolute certainty is not flatworms. Very strange looking though right?

I can only make a guess, these bumbs are probably from injuries from flatworms, or are flatworms that have hatched.
I never had one with so many random pimples. I just know they knot up when injured, like a scab.

strange, even the tips are starting to mutate as well but no pests are visible. I'm not sure what to think. Thank you for the input though!

It is very odd. Maybe someone will figure out why it's happening. If youre positive there are no pests and it isn't showing signs of health decline. All of your parameters haven't been through a mass fluctuations.

Maybe you have a unique piece.

This is my hope, just looks so odd.. And there is so much information out there about the hobby when it comes to unique ID's
