[Jaycen B.]

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Just picked this up today from zoa eating nubi infested tank it is now in QT. I believe it is a Diploastrea, or moon coral.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">?1 how long should it be in QT to make sure I do not get these? </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Then I flipped it over and seen this, any thoughts on what this may be.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Please PM for details on the nubis if worried.</span></span>

I did do a dip in Brightwells Medicoral @ 150% dose.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 13px">Oh and that stuff underneath was/is incased in a gelatinous goo. </span></span>

I guess (!) Snail eggs of some sort...

 

[Jaycen B.]

Snail eggs, could be, should I scrape them or watch and see?

 

[Jaycen B.]

Any thought on how long to QT.

 

[Jaycen B.]

I found out what the stranger is, it's tunicates.

 

[fish scales2]

I definitely see tunicates in the form of sponges but it actually looks like something else. Does it still look the same (like a bunch of eggs in a gel casing)

 

[Jaycen B.]

It is now expanded I'll try to get a pic.

 

[Jaycen B.]

This is the best I could get, as soon a I touche the rock they closed up and fast, they are now back out and I can see them pumping water kinda cool. Oh and the white thing with black spots, sponge? The goo case is gone.

Oh snap!!! That thing has grown a bit as well eh. Keep us posted on its growth, I would love to see it in a few months.

The white thing with black spots is sponge as well. VERY nice.

Will do.

Hey just went over to the tank and opened the doors on the stand, and it seems bolth the white withe black spots sponge and tunicates are very sensitive to vibrations. I did it twice to make sure I was not hallucinating.

Well it seems they are light sensitive as well. Any thoughts?
