Keep an eye on this as it may be coral boring worms or from what I believe are tunicates. You can also dip to assure any pasts are addressed. I use CoralRX
May then be coral boring spinoid. A video here may be helpfulyes they have mouths, even tentacles inside that mouth. They can be open while eating, trying to eat, or during excretion. At night try to take a peak at them and see if theyre extended. Also things like a shrimp/hermit could end up picking at its mouth(for the food), and sometimes sand can be stressing around the mouth, both can be damaging. Id just watch it and Let it be aside from a dip possibly, I use Polyp lab primer, its pretty gentle on corals.
Tentacles are on the periphery of the oral disc, not inside the mouth. Mesenterial filaments are in the mouth.yes they have mouths, even tentacles inside that mouth.
I have seen its tentacles extended, but the holes caught me off guard lolyes they have mouths, even tentacles inside that mouth. They can be open while eating, trying to eat, or during excretion.

Look at the little tiny baby starJust looked now and had perfect photo opportunity
Thank you for that. Riptide aquatics(or it may have been Corals Anonymous, idr) had it labeled as a favia & I'm still learning all the different corals.The black inside makes me think some sort of boring (as in bore into) animal. That's a Paragoniastrea, not a Favia btw.

Oh, also, I've been checking daily & have only seen the holes once more which really has me thrown off lol Its almost like they come & go.The black inside makes me think some sort of boring (as in bore into) animal. That's a Paragoniastrea, not a Favia btw.

They're not technically a tentacle - technically they're basically just an extension of the stomach lining - but they're basically used like specialized feeding tentacles. They also have a tendency to show up outside of the coral when the coral is doing poorly though.are filaments not a type of tentacle? or only known as a extension of the stomach lining
somewhat of a grey area based solely on the definition, I think. Definitely better just using the scientific name from now on I guessThey're not technically a tentacle - technically they're basically just an extension of the stomach lining - but they're basically used like specialized feeding tentacles.
