maricultured corals question

[karsseboom]

Do you guys ever see like weird little creatures living inside the colony? I keep seeing these little creatures living literally inside the corals. There like worm looking creatures burrowed inside the skeleton.

perhaps a coral barnacle?

I've seen a few different looking things.

I've seen several types of critters. Unfortunatly I'll try to eradicate them harmfull or not. Except for acro crabs that I remove while dipping / treating a coral.

I just posted some pictures / videos of some about three weeks ago on my build log

I have one with a little fan like thing that goes in and out. Has the apearence of a feater duster, but the shape of them fans you see oreintal girls dancing with that fold up.

tinkerman, I have one of those as well and I've been curious about it. Doesn't seem to be causing any harm I guess

Aahhhh I've got the same things! Bought 3 frags from a store in Knoxville,tn and got 3 hitchhikers!!! A baby pistol shrimp nestled up under some macro algae growing at the bottom of a frag and then 2 acro crabs!!

@ tinkerman; That is def a coral barnacle.

Acronic thanks always nice to know what them fasinating little things are that just show up in our tanks, and yes that is what it is.
