This was growing on some of my gsp....

I'm not sure this is algea or a sponge as it moves like a worm. It also mimics gsp as it grabs the bucket and goes with the flow.

Anyone know what what it is?

I didnt want to believe it due to its size and length but you were right!!!

 

[fishguy242]

now i just hope it was the only one ,no matter how cool it is,have to find out what eats "them"

 

[MERKEY]

Ok so a quick search and it says they eat soft feathered corals...says they only get about 2 cm, this one is WAY bigger lol

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

It’s nudi of some sort, I’ve seen them before in pictures but never in person. I would dip all your soft corals if possible.
