Hello! I’ve noticed this brown fuzzy looking thing popping in and out of a hole in my hammer coral skeleton (bottom left)I made sure to dip the coral before adding it to my tank, but I guess whatever it is, wasn’t phased by the dip. Any ideas what this could be? Is it harmless, harmful? Hammer coral has been opening up fine and looks healthy so far. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
