hi i just got a Favia Moon Coral couple days ago, been noticing white worm like things all over him at night and sometimes during the day(which i think are its tentacle?). I wasn't so worry about the tentacles until the coral started releasing a lot of slime... now slime and tentacles cover almost the whole coral even during the day.... what is wrong with him? =(....is he just hungry?

I have only Had my moon for two weeks so I no expert. But from watching my coral I would say that is not normal behaver. From my research I have found that Moon coral requires medium to high light and a moderate current. My coral only puts it's tentacles out at night they are almost transparent with wight ends about 2" long and it dose look fussy on the coral till after it Pules in. Not that it will help you much here is a short video of it. They had all ready started to go back in when I thought about recording it. But if you click on full size you can make them out on the one front right to center. They feed mainly on light but like pod's and Plankton from what I have read.
