Phew! That’s what I was hoping for. Thanks! I thought they looked kinda cool but was worried they might go nuts.

No worries, they usually stay small and there is no need to be alarmed, the more your have the better it is because they help you with water quality and clarity 😊

Did those come on your coral or were they from the rock you got?
