Pipe organ

[bizzle]

I was looking at my pipe organ today and I noticed two clear sacks on the red, hard exo-skeleton. Does any one know what this is? Good or bad?

 

[bizzle]

Can nobody help me? What is the deal?

 

[pyro]

could you get a picture by chance?

I don't have the usb cable for my camera right now. They are clear bubble like sacks on the bottom of the coral.

I can't help you, but I'll give ya a bump so maybe somebody more knowledgable can :yes: .

Bizzle,
I have a Pipe Organ, and I have never noticed sacks. What I do see quite frequently are other organisms growing on the under side of the skeleton.
Mostly these other organisms are q-tip sponges, but every now and then something else appears. I think that the sack is probably not related to the coral, but rather that another organism is using the protection of the pipe organ to grow...and I would guess it is some type of sponge.

Thanks for the advice. What do q-tip sponges look like?

Bizzle,
Use the "search" button at the bottom pf the page, and I am sure you will find that there are tons of pictures of q-tip sponges on the board already.
