[QUOTE=mav.23;25500756]Hello! I got my first coral tonight for my nano, and when I got home and examined the frag, I noticed some pale green clear-ish looking stick thingies. They are very small, and very tricky to see, and at first I thought it was a GSP tentacle poking through it's opening, but then it moved to another tentacle. Does anyone have any experience with this? I will try and get a picture soon.[/QUOTE

After much research, I believe it is a parasitic copepod. It looks like it eats gsp. I am moving the coral out of acclimation & into QT. I (luckily) am getting a Melanurus Wrasse tomorrow, and I've heard they eat copepods well. Hopefully the wrasse will eat the pods off the gsp.
