Sps tentacles?

[David]

I got home from work this morning, to find it appears my tort has spaghetti tentacles form the lower polyps. Pic was taken with flash. Anyone ever see this?

does the white stuff hard like a tube or blows around? If it moves,....spaghetti worm?

 

[David]

It blows around. I must be so close to the base, it looks like it’s coming from the polyps. It’s a new frag. Spaghetti worms must have hitchhiked on it.

If it is a spaghetti worm they are beneficial hitch hikers that clean the sand and water column of detritus and free floating particles

Yes SPS can do that.
I had a green slimer, pic below, that would do it often, but I've seen other acro's do it occasionally too.

I’ll keep an eye on them, including my own green slimmer.

I don’t see any evidence of a worm tube anchored onto the frag plug. I haven’t seen the spaghetti tentacles since the lights came on. I’ll check in the am.
