So I get home tonight to see my tank in a bit of a predicament. There are what I can only describe as slimy spiderweb looking strings all over the place.
I start taking inventory... seeing if anything is missing or dead. All the inverts look ok. This fish all look OK, the corals are mostly closed up, but I figured it was because these slime string were irritating them as they brushed by them.
I see in the back corner of the tank that the Electric Blue Hermit it on the substrate, turned in such a way that he probably couldn't get himself "off his back" so to speak. It almost appeared as though the slimy stringy stuff was coming from him. Maybe he was doing that to try to get a grip on the sand substrate to turn his shell?
I reached in and adjusted the hermit so he could move on his own. It appears as though the tank is slowly clearing up.
Could that have been from the hermit? Should I be worried about the health of the water with all that floating around in the tank?
