Strange Growths in RBTA Tentacles
Was looking at our RBTA this morning and noticed some white, thread-like growths inside a few tentacles. They could have been there for days or weeks for all I know, but I just noticed them today.
Anybody have any idea if this is normal or if there is something wrong with the RBTA?

Pic was taken with a flash. Camera is a Nikon Coolpix 8800 VR. Unfortunately, zoom is telephoto not optical, so I can't get good shots of corals further back in the tank.
Anybody know about the stringy growths? |

Murray,
The stringy things are on the inside of the tentacle. Is that the same as your condy? |

Hmm. Never heard of an anemone shedding Don't know which is worse, strings inside or the anemone shedding
I also asked this question on RC and have just now received a couple of replies that said it was nothing to worry about. Feeding day is tomorrow. Will have a closer look at it then. |
