What stuff on acro?

[Reefs and Geeks]

I saw some white fuzzy stuff on my WD acro yesterday and blew it off with a turkey baster. Now today I saw more in another spot. The original spit from yesterday seems okay. Any idea what might be going on and should I be worried or do anything about it?

Hard to say. Here's how we might be able to help:
Next time you see a white fuzzy, shut off circulation. Grab a pipette or syringe and suck out the sample.
Get the sample (ideally) under a microscope (any cheap student one will do).
Use your phone to shoot images from the scope. You can even use phone zoom.

If you have a 5X or 10X lens, you may be able to zoom in enough to get a decent pic. Then post it here or over in the pest forum or both.

Looks like mesenterial filaments possibly. Could there be anything irritating that area?

Good idea, if I see it again today I'll pull some out for close inspection.
