parasite on turbos!!

[BLEEZY]

so there are these little white things that look like half the shell of a clam.
are they the parasitic organisms i think i have heard of??
ill try to get a pic but my computer is screwy and its always hard to get a pic up.

Probably barnacles.

i would guess they are Spirorbid Worms. look like this? http://www.melevsreef.com/id/spirorbid_worms.html these are blown way up. they are normally about 1/16"-1/8"

thx, they all have spirorbid worms on them, the things in question however are like mini clam shells, i would take a pic but every close-up pic i take comes out horribly.

hard to say with out a pic.

They could be Foraminiferans.

I say barnacles as well. Mine have them. From time to time little featherduster looking things shoot out of them.
