Thanks!! This little f@$k face isn't going back into the tank! Either down the drain or in my wife's smoothie tomorrow morning...not sure which one yet hehe

Been staring at my other sps and can't see anything else...hopefully it's the only one!

[Skim]

The general rule of thumb is Hairy is scary and smooth is cool.

That's a great question...one new one a couple days a go but I inspected that one good so it must have been in the tank for a bit

 

[bart84]

That size didn't come in on a frag. It was in a colony and grew.

 

[derrick orosz]

Do they stay on a colony or will this move around ?

 

[reef keeper]

They stay usually, but they eat the colony. And generally mess stuff up. I've bought wild colonies and some mariculture X ones, and they've both had those on there. I'm a dippin maniac, so make sure to dip & qt new acros. And inspect. They are tough to see, but are definitely a bad thing.

I am still thinking the wife's smoothie is how it should have been disposed of @derrick orosz .
