Hi,
I’m trying to identify a tiny worm. I added some live copepods and 1hour later my tank is covered in thousands of these tiny white worms. I’ve tried to get some good microscope pictures so maybe you could help me!
Thanks!
Sooo I haven't been able to conclusively figure out what this is, answers have varied widely. What are these things? Hasn't harmed anything yet and I thought it was just a type of algae, but last night I saw a worm poking out of the rock near it. It seemed to be searching for something, poking...
Researching fire and bristle worms I was curious if anyone, at a certain size (or other reason), starts removing bristle worms? Obviously you want fire worms out if possible IMO. I have a 20g AIO and there are two exceedingly large bristle worms in the tank, never hurt anything but obviously...
Hi all, hoping for an ID on this or these things. Hiding in my rock. I had a look through the sticky and nothing except maybe hydroids came to mind. You see it move something out of its hold and it seems to be popping out of multiple points in the rock. These were taken during the middle of the...
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...
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...
I have these strange thin red/pink worms on my glass and they just have appeared from nowhere. I do not have live rock and all of my corals have been dipped. Please help me figure out if these are good or bad. Here’s an image -
Hello fellow saltines,
I just picked up two Gorgonian frags (a corky and purple plume). These are my first corals. I just dipped in Revive for close to 15 mins. Now they're in a fresh saltwater rinse. I was about to dump out the Revive mix when I saw something moving in the bottom. I thought it...
Found this on my glass as the lights were dimming. Brownish/red color very long approx 3-4” and extremely thin, no visible bristles. Possibly was 1 very long one or even 2 I’m uncertain if it was cut in half etc. so could have easily been 5” fully extended.
Hi everyone,
Do any of you know what this is growing on the bottom of this montipora?
Coral isn’t happy, planning a lugol’s dip and slight relocation.
Thanks,
Adam

Hello!
Since some days ago I’ve noticed that there are some of this thin white worms attached to the glass, sometimes they hide on the sand and when they’re near the water flow they unnatach and float around the water in a crawled position. I leave a video and some photos to see if anyone knows...
One of the heads on my torch was closed up the other day, and I saw a black dot on it. Next it went straight into some coral RX and some critters fell off...

The head still isn't open (not even a day after the dip, but still...), so I'm hoping...
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...
The worm is in the center extending from the rock. It bores into the rock and has been in the same spot for months. I can tell it is boring into the rock because it leaves behind a small pile of castings every so often in the exact same spot. It has no bristles and does not appear to be...
Can't figure out if this was a ca problem, precipitation for far to long or some kind of worm eating the coral. Heads look great eats at night. Coral makes me scared. Didn't notice until I was working on a clean up. In the photo the left branch is holding on by a thread
These are very small. Can barely see them with my eye but I used a high power magnifying glass over the camera lens to capture an image an video. Please tell me these aren't bad. But if they are how do I remove them!?
I know they aren't too harmful to things but I just don't want to have worms burrowing into any of my corals. And Im worried about the future of my tank. I have some spionid worms in my sand bed. Anyone have any luck with creatures / fish that eat these worms, Ways to control the population, or...
