    Looked on line for the fire fly, I could only find Acropora Loripes (firefly). Can you steer me towards some images Dingo?

    TIA

    I think they are mesentrial filaments... There are conflicting opinions on the use in sps but Cheryl and I are 100% convinced that they are primarily used for feeding. Every time I feed plankton, cyclopeeze, or some type of "zooplankton" mixture I have this response.

    Boy not what I expected at all. Very nice, I wonder what color it's polyps are.

    I feel the need: Slimming, what my acropora or sps do when stressed, exposed to air for mod amount of time, or when encrusting. The Red Planet is slimming, a branch will soon sprout from that area.

    Mesenterial Filament. Christmas Montipora, after introduction of food. Also seen when I stir up detritus or sometimes when I clean the glass.

    I hope you do not mind Dingo.:)
