Sweepers

[Sheol]

One thing I just noticed, someone said low flow encorages sweepers...
That is incorrect. High flow is notorious. Most boos say to keep Euphyllia in low-moderate currents to lessen sweepers..

mesenterial filaments is the name I was trying to recall. They still come out at night but on the bottom side.

Looks to me like the polyps are trying to regrow after receding and the mesenterial filaments are being used to clear the skeleton of any foreign tissue that has colonized since the recession.

Higher flow does encourage the growth of sweepers by my frogspawn up to a certain point. Even higher rates of flow inhibit polyp extension of any sort.
