 flakey mushroom bugs? i was wondering if anyone else has noticed little flake looking things that cover your mushrooms. i have about 25-30 mushrooms at least 85% have these little flakey things covering them. they mimic the color of the mushroom.. my reds have red flake things and the purple ones have the same color. at first glance i thought they were just spots on the mushrooms, but after looking closely i noticed they were moving all around and have even started moving to other mushrooms. a red one may now be on a purple one and vice versa. anyone know what the deal is with these little guys?  |

__________________ What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music? |

| Re: flakey mushroom bugs? You most likely have an infestation of flatworms. They come in may shapes in sizes. Some are transparent in color. If they get totally out of control they can smother your corals. These buggers are another reason to quarantine all livestock (including corals) before placing in your display tank. Post some pics to confirm what you have. Do a web search on coral flatworms and you will find a number of photos that may help identify what you have. |
