Here is a reference pic for you to see what Monti eating Nudi's look like..so you know what to look for when buying... HOWEVER they have very very very small eggs that can be easily missed...

OR ... is this what you are seeing? I had this happen (still do) and was told by a fellow reefer that the coral was stressed.....not sure if this helps...but thought I would try

yikes, I've never seen that before and I've had some pretty stressed out corals in my day.

Is that what your diagnosis would have been Greg? It's what I was told several months ago.....but who knows how correct it was....what do you think (sorry to have sort of un-intentionally hijacked the thread!)

sorry for the delayed response guys, internet was down, yup thats pretty much what it looks like and in big numbers, i'm just glad it's not a nudi! so i gather it's from the chromis always bobbing around him? absolutely freaks me out as i think it's dead polyps sometimes! but same general formation as that pic chaloupa, but smaller though. or could it be a natural defense mechanism because of being annoyed by neighbouring corals?

well today both corals look great, no more fluff on the colony, thanks again for the pics for comparison, it's a relief to know it's nothing more than stress thats triggering it.
