Weird Growth on my Lobos

[fastrd400]

I have watched this white growth get continually larger over the last few weeks. Anyone have any idea what it may be?

maybe it is some kind of sponge growing inbetween them. it doesnt look like it is hurting the lobo.

No, it dosesn't appear to be hurting the flesh at all, and you can really only see it at night when they retract.

 

[daugherty]

i bet it is just a sponge then

I have that. It is a type of sponge. Take some tweezers and pull it off because it can grow really quickly and crowd out your coral. This has happened to me before. It's harmless when it's small but it doesn't seem to react to a coral sting and therefore grows out of control.

Cool, thanks Dave.

Yep looks like sponge to me too.
