pbnj Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Either your coral is sliming or you might have one of the worms attached to it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardx322 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 worms? hm... bad or good? my red planet seems fine and the color is coming back finaly after a couple of weeks. it was stung by another coral but has healed back over. i rarely ever see it do th white string but i think it happens when it gets stressed. i put in new bulbs today ( definetly like the new ones 12k reeflux) and ran them about 4 hours. usualy run my mh 8 hr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdavis735 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Sometimes that's some sort of feeder tentacles. A lot of my sps have white stingy things when I feed. I'd say either that or slime. If you think its when the coral is stressed I'd say slime. If when you are feeding I'd say feeding response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teg Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've got several sps, especially the two of tri color does that as well, and only when it's feeding time or when I clean the glass. I also have red planet but I don't recall it slime white string, it might have though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
