Strange Growths in RBTA Tentacles

[Beverly]

Was looking at our RBTA this morning and noticed some white, thread-like growths inside a few tentacles. They could have been there for days or weeks for all I know, but I just noticed them today.

Anybody have any idea if this is normal or if there is something wrong with the RBTA?

TIA

Don't know what those lines or growths are , but MAN does your camera take nice pictures! May I ask what type it is ?

Pic was taken with a flash. Camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8800 VR. Unfortunately, zoom is telephoto not optical, so I can't get good shots of corals further back in the tank.

Anybody know about the stringy growths?

Looks like it shedding it's skin or slime my condy "sheds" every once in a while, dunno if it good or not

Murray,

The stringy things are on the inside of the tentacle. Is that the same as your condy?
