This is my first wellso, these tentacles come out frome very small holes underneath it periodically...just wondering if this is its tentacles/feelers or if it is a parasite of some kind. Thanks, please see picture.

Hmm i dont think so, they come out of small tubes that are part of the coral. I had it on my live rock a couple weeks ago and now one of the tubes is on the live rock with the same tebtacle coming out....i thought maybe it was a new coral forming. Maybe ill have to dip this coral? Im pretty sure its a parasite of some kind :(

I may be making stuff up ot whatever because im still new but if it was a parisite in my eyes it wouldnt leave its host until it couldnt gain anything from it anymore..
