Yet another hitchhiker - nudi I think

[robert]

Its about 3/8 of an inch long - been hanging around on the glass above my GBTA for a few days. Fish have seen it - they look - but not interested.
Anyone have any idea if this one is detrimental to any corals? I once heard that their color usually matched their food - if so I have a gorgonia about this color - other than that coraline.

Kinda nice looking -

Sorry cant help to ID but it looks really cool!!!

So the gorgonia is just about this color and has white polyps. He would totally disappear on it - so I guess that's what he eats.
"Something" happened to it a couple of weeks ago - most of it turned to sticks. Its trying a comeback.
I think I found my "something" - lol

Ah well - he wandered off to find another snack - He'll die anyway - so out he comes!

My saying is if in doubt throw it out!!

 

[robert]

Yea, that's a pretty good rule. This time though it looked so darn cool I really debated it for a bit.

I used to be much faster to pull the trigger on stuff I didn't recognize - threw out some harmless, even helpful critters. Now I tend to "sump" what I don't recognize - but your saying is a good one to follow.

Sump works also.
