    Spiny box puffer parasite

    Over the course of the last couple of days, my spiny box puffer seems to have a worm over his eye. Would a freshwater dip help rid him of it? Any other suggestions as to what to do? The tank is a 220 predator FOWLR. There haven’t been any new additions to the tank for about a month. Water...

    Long coil white worm?

    Any idea what this thing is? Found this one on the live rock - have also found a couple on the edges of the glass. Its a long white worm that kind of coils itself like this. Originally thought it was the zooanxthellae released by my hammers but after seeing this one changing that assumption...

    Tiny orange worm? And tiny creatures on the glass.

    My tank is fallow right now and with no fish around, I decide to focus more on the tiny things around the tank. I am seeing 3 creatures that I am not sure what they are. Whatever they are they are all over my tank, one grain of sand can have around 6 (yellow line) every spot you see in the sand...

    Wormy thing with orange "stinger"

    Hello everybody, I just purchased a zoa and upon cleaning it prior to introducing it to my tank I found this critter. Does anyone know what this is? I have more photos and a short video if needed. I am keeping it in a separate container for now. It looks menacing and certainly not shy, makes me...

    I have no clue what this is and I'm not sure if they have killed 2 of my fish???

    I was just cleaning out my filter sock and I found around 4 of these things I don't know what they are, where they are in my tank or how they got in there? But looking at their spikes I might come to an assumption they killed 2 of my fish a lawnmower blenny and a cleaner wrasse. Both of the fish...

    NOT a bristle worm… but what IS it?!?

    Saw this while feeding my invert heavy tank. It is most definitely NOT a bristle worm… I have several of those in my tank and know them fairly well. This guy has a face that reminds me of a coolie loach… i think it’s been in my tank for at least 8 months. It seems to be more of a rock dweller...

    “Mini” black cucumber

    Hi all, This was sold to me as a “mini” black cucumber; the mouth seems strange though. Anyone know what this is, and if it’s reef safe? Main goal is to turn over my sand. Almost looks like more like a worm than a cucumber. I’m holding releasing it before I’ve got a firm ID. Thanks, Adam

    Please help with worm ID. Unique too

    Found 2 of these in my tank. Caught one. Haven't ever seen anything like it before or find anything online since finding it in my tank. Moves like a snake or eel. Redish color with white spots. Anyone have a clue what it could be? Please help. Thanks in advance

    Help IDing worm / egg thing?

    Hi, Any ideas what this is? Edit: I'm pretty sure this is a red flatworm but would still be good to get confirmation from those who have seen these before. This image is the largest one but there are plenty others on my glass. Thanks for your help! (My tank has Trochus, Tectus, Cerith snails...

    Worm with long legs and red square pattern. What is it?

    So my wife had me clean and move a bookshelf on the side of the tank today and I've been enjoying a view of the tank I haven't had and noticed the sand bed was pushed up on the glass. Low and behold I see worms in the sand I don't recognize. I'm terrified for the worst ID possible, but I can't...

    Worm and Pod ID

    found these guys last night. Looking for ID on anything included. More just curious what types of pods, but want to confirm that the worm is what I believe to be a dorvilledae. Do these sting like bristleworms?

    Tiny white worms with antennae

    I just discovered about 7 of these little whispy white worms on the glass of my QT tank. Sorry I couldn't get a better pic, my camera refused to focus on them up close. They have 2 antennae and are about 1/4 inch long. Any idea what they are and are they something I need to treat for?

    Help I have absolutely no idea what this is

    I just woke up to my fish tank and this is sitting in the front. Does anyone know what this is? What should I do? How do I get rid of it? Is it bad? Also don’t mind the algae I’m working on getting rid of it

    Fireworms?

    Just wanted to verify if these were fireworms. Found a bunch underneath a clove rock I took out to clean. Any worry with corals or to look out for with more of them?
