small white dots on one of my hammers
just had a power outage the other day don’t know if this is attributed to that but they’re all for the most part in the same spot kinda?
around the middle of the tentacle (pretty closed right now since it’s night but you get the idea)

I would just monitor for now with them being all in the same spot of each tentacle to me sounds like a feature not an ailment but following as im curious

first initial thought was maybe eggs getting pushed to the tips of the tentacles but there’s no way this thing would spawn in my tank plus the dots seem to be right on the outside of the flesh so i’m thinking it might just be a feature too
@ISpeakForTheSeas any idea?

Sorry - crazy week for me.

I've seen this happen once before, but I've never seen anyone follow-up on if it turned out to be problematic, if the bumps turned into new tentacles, etc. - so I'm not sure what they are. All I can say is keep an eye on the coral and see how it does.
