They seem to be irritating the coral a bit, as the edges aren't extending like normal, usually they hang over kind of mushroom like, but since I posted last they have stayed pretty close to the centre.

And they are under the Lepto again, so they seem to retract when the lights are off...

Could they be from spaghetti worms? And will dipping the coral get rid of them?

Although some of the filaments are coming from the top of the coral and don't appear to be coming from a worm tube or anything.... I guess I will keep an eye on it. Other than sort of irritating the coral from opening a bit, it doesn't seem to be doing anything to the flesh. If they aren't gone by tomorrow maybe I'll dip it.

Maybe mesenterial filaments, sweeping the area for clean growth space?
