isn't it that snail stuff
i get a very webby tank when i feed it |
my clam excretes slimy stringy stuff every now and then... :|
|
Have any wrasse's?
|
no clams no wrasses, no new livestock in the last few weeks in fact...would corals secrete that slime perhaps??
|
Does it look like this?
http://www.reefs.org/hhfaq/img/vermetid2.jpg Vermetid gastropod or vermetid snail (stationary snail, looks a little like a tubeworm, sends out this spiderweb type netting to catch food). If that's what you have ... Some say they're harmless, some say not. They are definitely a visual nuisance. I'm not so sure they're harmless, I find the webbing really irritates neighbouring SPS corals and eventually the corals recede a little. I try to let things be but every so often I have to pick out a few that get to be making a nuisance of themselves. |
yup, looks the same. i pulled a little bit out that was very similar to raw egg whites :eek: anyhow... i'll keep an eye on it and thanks for the info.
