Brain Wart

caitrina · 07-17-2007, 08:45 PM

Well I guess this week is the week for brains around here, after having a brain mapping and an MRI done of my brain, the brain in the tank decided to have a problem also. A few weeks ago I saw this bubbly looking thing on the brain. I really thought it was bubble algae growing on it, so I took the brain out and got a closer look and while I was poking around it the thing got smaller, almost like it popped. Well, I put the brain back in the tank and yesterday I saw that it had grown again but was bigger and almost in the shape of a small pine cone. I picked the brain up to try to get pictures and when I passed it in front of the ph the little wart thing came off, but not totally, it is still on there. You can see it in the picture on the right hand side, where the brain goes from green to red. lol, Now I feel like Victor and his pink blob...Anyway, any suggestions as to what this could be....

is it slimeing up at the site? almost looks like an aiptasia has settled on it

No slime at all...and I don't think it is aiptasia. I am trying to get a half way decent picture of it head on but when I do it looks more like a hole....

You can see where I am talking about don't you? It is kind of on the right hand upper side toward the center of the edge (not the center of brain)where the red and green meet, in fact it looks indented where it is at.

Maybe it's a baby brain?

A Loogie on my donut?
Have a look at my donut coral, it was pea sized then went away.

Your loogie, That is what this looked like yesterday until it passed in front of the power head and the larger part was knocked off, now it is really small as you can tell in the picture.

A baby brain would be neat...
