orange fuzzy thing.

[jesse]

its hard to see but its Orange and fuzzy. It's on my star polyps and they won't open

 

[jesse]

Can anyone help me out if u know what it is

 

[little_fish]

looks like a sponge of some sort, i would just pull it out

 

[ZyberGoby]

yeah i think sponge of some sort aswell

 

[jesse]

Well my star polyps won't open and haven't opened for almost a week now. What could it be? I checked and nothing seems to bother them like fish or crabs. I dusted it off with a turkey baster and its high up to get light and good flow. What else can it be? My zoas have grown 2 heads already so what can this be?

 

[jesse]

I found a really huge bristle worm right under the purple stuff thY they make. Can this mean its eating them or should I take it out.

 

[Bifferwine]

Bristleworms will only eat dead or dying things. If your star polyps haven't been opened for a while, they are probably in bad shape and the bristleworm is doing what the clean up crew does -- cleaning up.

damn that doesnt sound so good for the coral.
