What's this?

There is something on this frag.

Looks like a feather duster to me.

Any chance that there is a porcelain crab on the back side?
Otherwise, I would guess some type of barnacle. It looks to be extending and retracting too fast for a duster.

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking!

 

[Flippers4pups]

Yep, crab.

Looks like a coral barnacle. We have some on a tenuis frag

That's crazy! Do you think that's what is is?

I'm not seeing any crab, but that would be awesome.

Looks just like it. What you see is the barnacle feeding. It's actually pretty cool to watch and I notice no harmful effects to the coral.

I've never heard of a coral barnacle. But that makes sense.

That's good to hear. I've scraped many a barnacle from the hulls of ships.

It's pretty neat to see it go nuts when oyster feast hits the water.

Well then, I'm just going to have to get me some oyster feast.

Stuff is awesome. I mix it with some tank water and reef roids and most of the tank reacts quickly. It's a staple food for our tank now.

You must have some tough hands

Looks like a Duncan

Agreed, its a duncan. @Himes102, you'll get more of a response by starting a thread. It will be seen by more members that way:)
