Digita with black on it

[Rob Biederman]

hey all I am kinda new to SPS I got a digita and it has a black something on one of the branches and the polyps don’t seem to be as full covering as the used to be. I did turn down my lights in case it was bleaching but I am still getting new branches.

You have vermetid snails. Looks like one has attached to the tip of the digitata. Remove it.

Just pull it off?

Yes. Don't feel bad. They got in my current build and spread like wildfire. Their numbers finally declined over time.
