White hairs under coral HELP

[FRANK GRAZIANO]

My gsp and now a plate coral have had white hairs under them causing them to look sick gsp was not coming out until I scrubbed it off and now my plate coral was getting white and looked unclean on top pulled it out and found more white hair looks like whiskers on a cat but only about 1/4 inch long don't have a picture but looked everywhere on net and nobody knows what it is.

Hydroids come to mind, but it's hard to say without a picture. What are your tank paramters?

 

[FRANK GRAZIANO]

Tank parameters are perfect everything looks good just the 2 corals not looking good with white hair like cat whiskers. If you don't know what it is don't respond. Someone out there has had to have this same problem.. I read alot of threads and there is never a answer to what it is. Just alot of talk about tank parameters and BS

What's wrong wit a bit of trash talking. Didn't really expect anyone to answer searched everywhere no one know about this white whisker hair thing. There are pictures on alot of forums but never a answer. Odd

For the reason this is considered trolling, and against R2R's TOS

i have seen sponges in my own reef look somewhat similar to your picture. Some sponges are harmless but some can be quite aggressive and irritate corals. i just tweeze them off if they look like a problem.

This is the 2nd thread today that turned South. I'm gonna say this much, I know the gentleman that tried to help. Extremely knowledgeable and super nice. @Palyzoa I'm sorry.

 

[FRANK GRAZIANO]

There is no trolling or going south just want help but I do have some pineapple sponges in my aquarium don't think that's it they don't look like hair/ whiskers sorry if anyone was affected by my harshness but hate beating around the bush.

 

[Katrina71]

How long has your tank been running? Nitrates?

 

[40B Knasty]

Where you hate beating around the bush. People hate people being harsh even more. Take that into consideration if you are at all considerate. Now to your concern about these white hair like looking things. There will be a lot of guess work, because you don't know, the picture is bad, and you choose not to post numbers. Turn your blues off and take a picture for starts. It is an ID thread. Kind of hard to ID something if it is next to impossible with the picture you have taken. It's kind of like beating around the bush if you can't produce a good picture.
Do you carbon dose with vodka or something like that, because it could be a bacteria. People like to know numbers and dosing of things to see if it gives us any clues to your issue. If it is a sponge dying or alive, worm, feather duster esk like critter, bacteria, anemone, snail, barnacle shrimp, or other guess work listed. You will get exactly that till you choose otherwise.

Wow! After seeing that picture I change my sponge theory.

It’s similar to things I’ve seen in a Refugium or sump.

@Subsea any ideas?
