Hello All,
I have 2 different growths on the underside of my porites coral. The first is a colony of white sponges that is growing around the edge (Pic #1). I am concerned that it will interfere with new growth. The second are two separate small (<1cm) worm like things. They each have one orifice and seem to be spinning a web to catch loose stuff. Pic #2 shows one of them, greenish gray stump attached to rock on which porite is growing, with a pink mouth. I think I just saw it chewing on the poop that my feather duster extrudes.....
Are either one of these bad news?
Thanks!
