I believe that is Brown Algae...how much of it is in your tank?

 

[Jenyphur]

I watched it come out of that little hole....got longer and longer.

It's tough to see through the picture but if it is coming from the coral it can be a sweeper tentical.

 

[Christopher Davis]

Looks like a piece of hair

 

[Jenyphur]

I tried to change to negative...it was coming out of this hole. I thought it was poo. That's what it lookes like.

 

[oO_PR_Destination_Oo]

It's a little hard to tell from the photo but if its coming from the coral it can possibly be zooxanthellae. Which is basically algae having a mutualistic relationship with the coral. The coral provides the algae with a protected environment and compounds they need for photosynthesis.

 

[oO_PR_Destination_Oo]

Lol, Nice picture...well that looks like an arrow coming out of the coral, sooo I'm not a resident expert on arrows... JK... still looks like zooxanthellae

 

[Jenyphur]

LOL...you made me laugh. It was weird..that's for sure.

Ctenophore?

Ctenophore?

Yes. We saw one here some time ago.
Lots of types and look very different too.

Oh look there's one here on this very very good website.

I agree.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Nope. They're cool. If that's what it is.

Does it have the motion of fly fishing, sort of?

 

[Jenyphur]

Honestly it looked more like it was just expelling something. I had to leave so didn't see what happened to it. Its gone now though.

 

[Hemlawk]

I have the same thing right now. I thought it was just a long piece of hair algae...

Hopefully not digitate hydroids...If so, try and find it and glue it.
