Some of my mushrooms are infested with what looks like a parasite, but I
can't find any information on them. I have several different types of mushrooms, but the infestation seems to be limited to one or two types. The ones they're concentrated on are dark grayish-green and have a fuzzy canvas-like texture. They're also on some of the red and the reddish multi-colored mushrooms. The parasites are slow moving creatures that seem a little larger than the head of a pin. They're about the same color as pink coralline algae, and they're almost translucent. They seem to move in a slow squirting motion. They look like the same creatures I discovered in my refugium several months ago, but those were a clear translucent color. None of the other fish or corals appear to be infected, and everything seems healthy. My reef has been up for almost two years, and other than a few bouts with ick, I've never had any significant parasite problems. These things seem to be on the verge of exhausting some of the dark mushrooms. I hope they don't spread. I haven't plucked the mushrooms yet, but it's looking like I'm going to have to do something pretty quick. Any help is appreciated!! Royce |
