Not sure if I just haven't noticed or if this is normal and will continue to watch but thought I would post and get opinions maybe someone will know soon what it is and can help me it looks like white worms under the skin of the leather and comeing out in places haven't seen any movement but here is a photo

On the zoomed in picture you can see white lines they are all threw the leather and just come out in some places kinda makes me think a worm of some sort

I think its possibly normal, my leathers do weird things aswell with their skin that kinda looks like that idk what it is possibly growth/stretch marks, if they move then i would be concerned, but so long as it looks healthy it should be fine

Yeah that leather gets ticked off all the time so I know all about how they act funny and it's pretty big so it is crazy when it gets mad cause it changes so much shrinks down in size changes shape and color then when it sheds its skin there is alot to clean up but I have never noticed the worm looking things on it until today so just wanted to make sure before it spreads to the rest of the corals or leathers I have

I haven't noticed movement and I couldn't help it i was worried so I pulled it out and put in bucket and touched one with a tweezer it just fell off and is a little clear needle looking thing it's hard so it may just be part of the leathers structure trying to grow
