Howdy, I have a good sized colony of what I think are superman zoas or palys. There are some weird growths that keep popping up on some of the stalks:
- they do not move
- they are firmly attached but will scrape off, and don't appear to leave anything attached or burrowed in the stalk from what I can tell
- they look like a little polyp, filter feeding appendage or collection of tentacles that are clear and brown in color
- they do not look like nudibranchs, spiders, pox, etc
- they don't really look like what I typically think a pineapple or other sponge looks like
- I do not see any other pests present such as above or sundial snails
- the growths are not on any other coral I have
- I do see that i have what looks like a tiny vermantid or some other little filter feeder you can see in the middle of the picture, but these growths obviously look different
- I can easily remove the whole colony rock for a peroxide or iodine dip if need be, I did do a peroxide dip when I got them back in November
Any ideas?
THanks!
