    Granted I only had mine 2 weeks, but I have never seen it do that, so I went to go sneak a peak after lights out and I saw these really thin stringy like speghetti worms I think comming from the sand. I have a dim flashlight and they were slowly gong back in the sand. I wish I had time to get a pic. It was so wierd.

    But I still didn't see any. I will give it more time. I don't want to do too much at once. This is my first favia, so I am on the nervous side. I don't know what's normal or not normal for them yet.

    Im the same way!;D I'll never forget the first time my cleaner shrimp molted, or my toadstool shed. Or more recently my sallyllight footed crab molted. I get all freaked out over nothing.

    But I guess I'd rather be like that then think it's all good to find out it's not!
