Is this normal?

My acan deflated a little because of being closer to direct flow after moving his rock during cleanup. Noticed this stuff on the stone. Normal or no?

Are you talking about the pink stuff on the frag plug?

 

[Pauliex77x]

No. The tentacle looking thing coming off the base

Sorry I’m the worst at iSpy- do you mind circling what you’re talking about in a picture?

Are they tentacles that move? Could be a spinoid worm. Or it could be part of that sponge there. Hard to tell, but it doesn’t look like anything harmful to me

Nope. Doesn't move it's just there. Don't know if its always been there. Or not.

Then it’s probably just a strand of coral mucus with particles from the water column stuck in it, which is very common, especially when corals Don’t get a lot of flow under their polyps. If it bothers you, you can suck it out with a turkey baster. Otherwise it’s no big deal.

Thanks a bunch.
