what's on this blasto?

[benny z]

picked this up tonight from a lfs...have seen it there for a while. looked like it was on the up-swing, but now i see these brownish tentacles coming out of it in the areas where the tissue is recessed. is it something eating it? just a spider worm?

whatever it is, it survived dips in tmpcc and coral rx...

see it?

Can you get a hold of it and pull it out?

 

[benny z]

unlikely - it's super tiny and frail looking. i think i'd just pull out strands.

there are (i think) 4 separate spots of them on the piece.

 

[OMG Corals]

Spaghetti worm. It will irritate the coral. Extract it.

 

[benny z]

shouldn't the coral rx have extracted them???

 

[benny z]

hikari's prazi pro safe to use?

 

[OMG Corals]

Dips will not always kill them. You may have to do it manualy.

Looks like a spaghetti worm to me.

why thx! just a quick snap.

well i just tried a dip in prazipro. i pulled 1g of water and added 1ml of prazipro in a bucket w/ a powerhead and dipped the coral for 15 minutes.

put it back in the tank and now the tentacles are extending out very far - further than i've seen til now. i'm guessing it's stressed...maybe dying? will observe and re-dip if needed.
