Yesterday, I dipped the pinnigorgia sp. into distilled water, because it was the first coral that had dinos growing on its tips. Today there are dinos everywhere on that pinnigorgia sp. Maybe because the freshwater bath also killed dino competitive organisms on the coral skin . Now they are gone and the dinos have free space to spread. Maybe I should take a closer look into the bacterial fauna that lives on a coral infested with dinos and one that is not infested...
Sincerely, Dennis
