So I’m doing some maintenance today and I was moving my chalice when I noticed this growth on it. I’ve seen these guys on a rock I have in my sump that has fan worms on it so I figured they were baby worms until I saw them on the skeleton of my chalice. One was heavily infested while the others had only a few on them. I tried searching and couldn’t get anything on it so uploading them here.
They’re soft and scrape off pretty easily and I scraped them off the few corals I have in the sand but will need a more thorough cleaning. I figured if it’s on the Skelton than they can’t be good for the coral. I haven’t seen any damage to the chalice and it extends every night as well. I also dipped all my corals so not sure where it could have came from unless it survived the dip. Also there’s no movement from them when I was scrapping them off or touching.
