I had the post ill millies on here and seemingly ruled that the crabs were the culprit. Well now I am not sure. The pink milli that was showing poor PE had small signs of tissue loss that I had blamed on the crab. well today there was a lot more loss and a small amount of mucus of sorts on the whitened parts near the base. I decided to suck some of it out and have a look. What I found has me worried. in the baster sized amount of water I found what appear to be thousands of very very small free swimming pod like creatures. they are about a fraction of a millimeter wide and about less than half a millimeter long. they look like this l basically. they are free swimming and appear more like pods than worms to me. They are to small to get a pic with my camera.they are extreemly small. I had to use a gem magnifying glass to really see them. I took samples from other areas in the tank and only found them on the areas where there was tissue loss. the million dollar question. Is this the cause of the tissue loss as opposed to the crabs as I had suspected,or hopefully a tiny pod that prefers to live in and dine on dying acro tissue? man that sounds like a desperate question. Anyone have anything like this? All other corals in the tank look ok and showed no signs of this creature on or around them.
