Ok, now I need an ID

Anyone ever run across this stuff before? I am not sure what it is but it grows like wildfire even after harvesting. It doesn't seem to sting my corals but they do act irritated though I suspect it's more because it quickly grows over them and overtakes it. It's soft, nothing hard on it at all. Needs light.



Thanks.

 

I have the same stuff never have found an Id on it I have looked all over for it it is some cool looking stuff.

 

Its a type or hydroid/hydrocoral, I cant think of the exact name right off. I came across it when I was looking up the hydroids I had.

 

Yup Hydroid for sure. Nasty stuff. I haven't heard a control or removal method that works.

 

My guess is colonial hydroids as well but can you take a close up picture of one of the "polpys?"

 

propane torch works wonders on them

 

yup, torch em, bleach em, eat em if you like, but they gatta go

 

LOL

 

thats a flatworm

 

Thanks geekdafied, I thought as much. Need to remove right?
