Anyone knows what those spikes are on my Stylophora ? I had a tank crash about 2 months ago so some of my stylophora died. When it started growing back I noticed these spikes amoung the polyps, any ideas ?
They look like vermetids to me as well, my guess is they started encrusting on the underside where it took more time to grow back. I don't know if they can outcompete it or live in/overtop of live coral tissue, but the pairs of feeding hairs at the end of the tube definitely suggest vermetid to me.
