This little diddy come on a coral frag that I purchased. Just saw it sticking its little head out anyone know what it is? Also do I take the coral off of this piece of The Rock to attach it in the aquarium where I want it on another piece of live rock or am I supposed to just sit this Rock On Top of the Rock I want it on? I have no idea how this works and I didn't think to find out before I got it home

Just my opinion, and it's really second hand as I read it somewhere else and don't know it to be fact... BUT:

Every time I get a new frag, I remove it from the frag plug it came on. Then I dip it, rinse it, and glue it to a new acrylic frag plug. I've read that pests can potentially survive a bayer dip if they're deep in rock/plug crevices.

Again, just my opinion.

If you really wanna go pest free you want to that ^^^^^ yes you're right but also QT your frags and dip every 5 days for 8 weeks.
Only than you can say you're pest free for 99%.

Feather dusters aren't pest as the can come I different colors and are considered part of a healthy eco-system.
 
Ues i think youre right. I didnt k,ow how to remove iy without damaging the coral. I didnt know it could be done. I did dip them for 20 min...but after putting the xenia in my shrimp went over and started looking around it and a red brownish centiped worm thing ran out...i ran to get my net and when i came back it was gone,,,not,good! I hope it wasnt something bad
 
lugol's maybe? Either way, it's very good practice. keep it up!
