Default Pseudochromis Health....

So your saying next time I stir the sand and get a handful of the *******s I
should put me hand in a bucket of pool acid?

your cleaning.

Yep they come off real easy. They are hollow with a small amount of venom.
They are composed of calcium carbonate. And they dissolve nicely in hcl
acid :-)

A day later the little pickers were all gone.
I did think about the bristle worm thing.
Do the spine legs actually detach from the worm ?

Does it look like the bristles of a bristle worm? If so, it probably
ate, or tried to eat a bristle worm.

Not that I'm concerned for the health of the Pseudochromis
BUT mine looks like it had a run in with a porcupine.

It's got small needle like things sticking out of it's face and it's
mouth is half open.
I'm hoping it's not some type of disease that I should be worried
about.

Any thoughts ???
