Yellow Fiji Toadstool

[Broog]

Just curious, do Fiji toadstools have sweeper threads? Mine has two threads that come out everynight and retract every morning? but I have never seen anyone talk about there leathers doing this. Sorry dont have a camera until my daughter comes , then it will still be hard to take a picture of it at night.

sarcophytons don't have sweepers but that particular sarco (s. elegans) seems to have a commensal relationship with a type of comb jelly or worm (not sure which it really is).

it sends out a "tentacle" and pulls it back like a fishing line (very fine wispy line, almost clear?). i've seen it very often with s. elegans but not with other sarcos for some odd reason. nothing to be concerned with imo.

That must be it, yes they are very fine and whippy
