no I didn't see anything that resembled something like that. The company I got the frag from is pretty reputable so they probably check for such parasites before shipping.

Not all of them, mostly the tiny ones with spikes on their back.

yeah they can be a real pain in the !@# Did you dip it? Next corals you get, dip them. You can buy a coral dip. It will kill the (bad things) nudibranchs and crap like that you dont want in your tank.

kewl I think they dip the corals from vivid aquariums before they ship them out. I asked the guy there an he said to just acclimate the coral, and place in the tank with the lights off for a while.

Yeah, it depends where you order from. Vivids one of the best. If I'd order from them I wouldn't worry about pests.
