Does anyone know what this white string stuff is that’s around my RBTA? It’s never really a lot but I do notice it quite often.

That’s just mucus. Nothing to worry about.
Thanks! Got this guy about 2-3 weeks ago and I thought I had my tank running for 5 months or so but it’s only been 2-3 (I’m bad with time I know) and I know that’s not always ideal for nems but so far I’ve yet to have any issues with it

Oh that. Agree, looks like mucus. You can confirm by blowing off gently with a turkey baster . Should dislodge

Sweet thanks for the quick response! Other than that does it appear to be healthy? Or anything that y’all can see from those photos that I should watch out for?

I’ve been feeding it chopped up pieces of frozen shrimp about twice a week and sometimes it’ll get some reef roids that float around
