Spider web looking thing in my green leather

Apparently Andy has me on "Ignore User" status. It's a good thing he does otherwise he might have caught my "Andy is a big fat stupidhead from dumbville" thread I started in the sump.

FWIW I have three of these on a Trachyphyllia brain coral. But it doesn't sound like it's what Chrispy has. The "spider web" comment immediately made me think of those tentacles though.

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.

Not necessarily true, if you mean the tentacles. Mine extend their tentacles 24 hours a day. Maybe they're just hungry :?

If they are indeed ctenophores, they do not sting. They don't possess the ability. I've never noticed any problems with their tentacles hitting my SPS corals, and clearly leathers and gorgonians don't seem to mind them either.

Dan I retract my earlier statement and replace it with I think Dan is a Copy Catting poor speller :wink:

Will one of you fellas please try to remove the web and see what happens. If you are afraid ask your wife to do it :wink:

I know, I know...I gotta get a camera!

Andy, I'm not sure I want to disturb it...I don't want to kill anything!

Ctenophores have feathers that flail out into the water and then retract. And as said above, they can't sting because they only have colloblasts (sticky), not pneumatocysts. If they are not flailing and retracting, but are more stuck on there like a spiderweb, it's something else.

I think it is indeed something else.

Well, I looked tonight, and it's gone. The nepthea as a whole looks good, but the three branches that were held within the web are bone white. The branches are also no longer stuck together, and I can't find any residue of the web. Sorry I didn't get a picture, guys. A camera is on its way, albeit too late for this whole thing.

 

[Anonymous]

what kind of camera?

Is the nepthea gonna make it?

 

[Anonymous]

The nepthea is huge...it will be just fine. I asked somebody knowledgable at work to get one for me...I'm not sure what he got.
