Weird Antennae?

[dcal1985]

I've seen a few of these coming out of some corals. This guy isn't doing well and I'm curious if this could be contributing. Any ideas what it is?

Kinda looks like aiptasia tentacles.

A bit, but it appears to have some black stripes.

Im agreeing on aptasia
Under certain light wave lengths, they show stripes and bars (as shown below) Take a syringe or pipette and squirt kalkwasser powder mixed with tank water into a paste the consistency of toothpaste into its center core and it will melt away

If they keep coming back after treating as mentioned above, you can try getting some berghia nudibranch. My daughter's WB20 cube got infested with aiptasia while I was away for work and manually zapping them wasn't going be possible. I got several berghia from ReefTown and, two weeks later, no aiptasia!

I'll give that a try, thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion!
