What is this?

[willforr]

I found some stringy looking thing attached between a torch coral and an astrea snail. Anyone know what this is?

It’s hard to say with those photos, but my guess is hydroids. Search hydroids and compare.

Looks like a vermited snail web

Doesnt really look like hydroids. I do have plenty of vermatid snails but this web looked so much different so not really sure

 

[Bfragale]

I don’t suspect Vermeted snail web.

Torch coral slime?

It looks similar to these hydroids. There are different kinds of hydroids. These sometimes appear in younger tanks, and from my experience they eventually go away in their own.
But this is my best guess. Good luck

I'd guess those are torch coral eggs, though I'm not certain:

Torch coral is releasing eggs ? In strings from its mouth..

What the heck is this ?? Its some green indo torch had it for awhile.. noticed it shrunk up today and now has like eggs from strings coming from its mouth lol. What the heck is this?

Is this torch putting out eggs?

Hi All, I just did a water change and fed my corals in my coral Quarantine tank. One of my torch corals is expelling brown waste (which is normal for the torches I have). What I am seeing for the first time are these white things in it that look like eggs. Any idea what these are?

I’d agree the pictures in that post look really similar

I dont think damsel fish eat hydroids?
