You could be right about having more than one but I hope not! I can't say for sure that my LR had none but I really don't think it did - we pretty much killed it all in the tank transfer of 8 hours in an unheated trailer in -12 weather. I really think this guy hitchhiked in on the brain. The vendor had some worms in a different tank that we could see and I didn't think that one could live on the bottom of a brain so I didn't quarantine him long enough to see it. If it was any other coral I'd throw it out but I love this coral and he's my favorite so I gotta try something.
