Are those frilly edges easily seen by naked eye? Cuz I didn't see any. I did see a white pest though

Mark - is that a macro pic?

Mark - those are the flatworms that I see coming off my montis. So that's a pod? not a flatworm?

Mine came off of a chalice about 10 months ago. It was around 10pm and I flipped. Luckily I shot a picture to Marc and he assured me it was a useful pod.

When they get big enough, it is easier to spot them. I have seen them up to 1/2" in length. It was a frag swap. I was going around and inspecting the monti caps. I kept throwing corals away and people got all mad at me. I grabbed the bags and told them they could have them. Of course, I went on to show them why I was throwing them away.
Needless to say, they let me continue what I was doing


BTW,That is the picture from the link I sent you last night.

Well, I hope they don't get big enough for me to *easily* ID them. Now that I've dipped my montis, do I need to do any more repeat dips?

The key is to keep an eye on them. Look in any crack, ridges or anything that might hide any eggs. I would not want to take any more risks. Anypart of the coral that you can not see, I'd cut it up and glue all around the edges.

A trick I learned is to keep them in a frag tray to make it easier to inspect them.

Here is a montipora with a hitchhiker nudibranch on the side.

That would be an adult one. Thread about them:

The rounded looking picture on page back is a Sand Skater, and a pod that you don't have to worry about.

Flatworms are thin like paper, two-dimensional creatures. They wrinkle up in various products like Flatworm eXit, ReVive, TMPCC.

Geeze, after reading the thread by the Polish guy on the sps forum, I want to tear down my tank. His tank is incredible. Too bad he never posted pics of the Polish girls.

 

[tbone28]

That was a great link, Marc. I definitely didn't see that nudi. So either I don't have monti nudis or I have young ones that don't have the frillies yet? Regardless, I'm going to keep my eye on them.

Hey Maximus, lets see more of your tank.

 

[cbui2]

oh wait...I just realized this is tbone's thread. my bad tbone.

 

[cbui2]

wow Sang that elos is da bomb

 

[tbone28]

Sang, what happened to the bottom of your tank??

 

[Maximus]

That's just the way Elos makes their tanks. They sandwich 2-3 layers of glass with silicone beads in between. Supposed to make it really strong.

That is elos' sizemic bracing, otherwise known as a very high priced way of saying "scraps"

Is that ELOS' way of sayinig it will survive our next 7.8 quake?
I guess there's no option to go BB on an ELOS tank
