I was doing a water change and noticed that there was some parasite in my frag sized green stare encrusting polyps, so I performed a coral dip with iodine twice and tried to scape off as many parasites as I could. After dumping the dirty water in the sink, I was horrified by what I saw and took...
Hi everyone,
Do any of you know what this is growing on the bottom of this montipora?
Coral isn’t happy, planning a lugol’s dip and slight relocation.
Thanks,

I’ve had this Zoa colony for 2 weeks now. I got them from a LFS. When I brought them home there was some algae on the frag so I did a dip with Hydrogen Peroxide. I let them sit for a few more days then noticed these spike like things coming out as well as small hard to see worm like critters...

So if you haven't heard...Prime Coral has some impressive videos showing a parasite that's responsible for RTN and others that might be responsible for STN. This guy is from Florida and his name is Dr. Ara Deukmedjian. This Philaster parasite that he's captured on video eating acros sure fits...
Please...anybody with a microscope...join our battle in finding out all Parasites/Protozoa responsible. See thread below:
