Something has come into my tank inadvertently with some new frags.
(I'll never fail to dip a new frag again....never).
Fungus is hitting some Zoas. OK. That seems reasonably straightforward to handle....ish.

What I'm wondering about is this other parasite I'm seeing on zoas and my Kenya Tree. Looks like a filamentous attachment to the surface of the coral. Not sure if these are eggs or linear cells of a multi-stalked organism. Any ideas?
