Pretty new to reefing, I just got a new toxic green candy cane and I noticed these white strings when I was getting ready to coral dip it. Should I be worried? What are these guys and will they die in the dip or do I need to manually remove them?? Thanks in advance for your advice!!!
Those are not part of the coral, those are just tiny tube worms, which are harmless and add biodiversity. They will be affected by the dip, but some of them may survive.
Good day and God bless!
