First coral added to mytank yesterday... what is this on my frog spawn?¿?

 

[Triggreef]

Does that kind of contract open and closed now and then? If you touch it does it retract? Looks like a harmless filter feeding feather duster.

 

[Mr_Banana_Pants]

It keeps opening and closing, if I touch it, it closes up...

Feather duster worm

So it's perfectly ok, nothing to concern about? Sorry, nervous coral daddy lol

 

[Triggreef]

There's like a hard tube that it retracts into. Not a bad thing but depending on your fish selection they can get to crazy populations.

Many fish will eat them, wrasse, butterflies, etc.

Great, thank you =)

Barnacle... if it's spelt right
Had one on my torch before , sometimes the coral lives with it and it's fine , sometimes it irritates it making them close , and sometimes it makes the coral head die , mine died after trying to grow round the barnacle , the barnacle was in the centre of the head
