just some stuff I'm keeping in a glass box

Here is my favorite clam and an acro that has developed some interesting PE, almost like mini-sweepers. Check it out.

They look like hydroids although I've never seen hydroids colonize living tissue, love the clam though

[marie]

Th more I look at the picture the more I think hydroids . It looks like all the polyps on the acro are actually retracted

[Snappy]

That sucks, how does one get rid of them?
Pretty sure there's no hydroids on this shaggy A.tenuis.

I found lots of info on hydroids and not much on how to remove them, other then by hand

And I would say your right about there not being any on the A tenuis . I wish shipping things to Powell River was a little more reliable I would be trying to buy a frag of that for sure





Edit, my angel might eat hydroids, maybe you should send that poor coral to me

Nice Tenuis!!! Very very shaggy!

Thanks for pointing them out to me Marie.
It was suggested on another form to use kalk where I can and otherwise to use a brush.
Thanks for looking and the encouraging remarks everyone.
