This was eating my acro

[Cody Ray]

It is about 1.5-2mm long and a reddish pink color. My guess is a flatworm or something similar. From what I have read I need to treat the corals and the aquarium. What do I use and how do I do it?

Nudi?

Hmm, might need a clearer picture if you have one.

 

[Cody Ray]

This is with full zoom and I put a magnifying glass over it.

 

[RichConley]

Pull back the zoom a bit, and you'll get a clearer picture, then crop it.

This is cropped, when I went smaller it blurred even more. Unfortunatly whatever it was I threw it away. It was the only one I saw when I took the coral out and looked at it. There is a nice section of meat missing from the inside of a branch.

Doesn't look any preadtor I have seen. But again its a shoty pic.

How do you know it was eating your acro? was it chewing on it? was there visable bite marks it was producing, or what? please explain

 

[Chrisrush]

Did you happen to drop a tic-tac on the acro, cause that's what it kinda looks like to me.

No, it wasn't a tic tac

Asterina

Asterina

You have to forgive my spelling, but that appears to be an Asterina star fish perhaps....but the pic was so blurry. The pinkish center that you describe, and ofcourse you found it on the coral, keep your eye out for those little things on the glass, and on any LPS you might have.

Yeah... someone told me not to worry about asterinas when I was setting up my tank. Two days later I found one eating my zoas. I can't see any arms, but I've never seen one that small.
