:lol:

Yeah, and tomorrow is here and I haven't done much. I did poke it, and nothing. I's darker than it was, but still there. I'm thinking it's gotta be a nest of some sort. I thought perhaps it was a disease, but it's wrapped around three branches, so I don't think it is.

I'll post if anything changes.

Btw, it's a green nepthea, not a leather.

(I'm assuming these are two different things, but perhaps I am wrong. I often am. :D )

Cessile ctenophores retract to something that looks like a flatworm in the daytime; I doubt that's what you have. Don't stick it in the sump, it might be something cool.

I think Dan may have it :D

Ctenophores

Most Ctenophores (pronounced "teen - o - fores") or "comb jellies" are small to moderately sized pelagic animals. Although they look superficially like jellyfish they are not at all related to them. Most forms have two long tentacles and the tentacles have branches on one side of them. Some ctenophores are sessile and look rather like flatworms. They typically are found on soft corals or gorgonians. They collect their food from the water using long extensible tentacles that use glue cells ("colloblasts") instead of nematocysts to adhere to prey. They are harmless, but they reproduce so well in some aquaria that may become abundant enough to be pests.

Hey, Matt showed a pic on page one, but he spelled sessile correctly. :oops:
