    Very small worm

    I have been watching these forums for a good while, but never have posted so this is my first post. I’ve recently had a very small worm hitchhike into my tank. Initially I noticed in in the sand and it was reaching out and hitting an amphipod. It didn’t appear as if it was trying to catch it...

    Need to know what these tubes are.

    My reef aquarium (90 Gal) was neglected while my wife and I were traveling for about 18 months. Of course the corals all died leaving one yellow headed jawfish, one yellow watchman goby, a banggai cardinalfish, one small hermit crab and a lot of algae. The fish all seem happy and eat what...

    Hello everyone So in the beginning of February I broke down my 75 gallon display tank bleached all the live rock except for one that had a mushroom coral attached to it. In preparation for my 125 gallon upgrade. I removed some substrate along with that rock to house long tentacle, my bubble tip...

    What are these white/transparent worms

    The video shows one (there are several, at least on this rock) white/transparent worm. I have never seen one of these before. I saw them at night - maybe they are nocturnal and come out of the cave when it is dark. Cam can be called and how harmful, beneficial.

    What is this that keeps showing up near the sand?

    I keep finding these sand covered noodles at random spots in my tank. Are they spunk? Worms? Poop? They don’t move but I have no idea were they come from.

    Worm with tentacles coming out.

    Alright what the heck is this thing now. He's been hanging out in my gsp and I took him out cause I just don't know what it is. Friend or foe. Do I put him back? Its like a worm but has these tentacles. And he's made a casing around himself.

    What type of worms are these?

    Are these bristleworm larvae? When fragging 2 leptoseris corals, I've found families of these worms living inside (between coral and frag plug). The corals that were fragged were in good health, but worms living in corals is never really a good thing in this hobby. Just trying to correctly ID...

    Small black tube / worm in what looks like salt crystal?

    Hi guys, I have noticed a few salt crystals or something of the sort and I was trying to figure out what they were when I noticed one had tons of tiny black dots on it. I pulled it out of the tank and then put it in a scope and it looks like maybe they are tiny black tube worms or something. I...

    Can anyone identify these things that stick to the glass?

    Every few days my back wall is covered in these things & in a few small random sections of the tank and sump. They stick on as well. Is it a bacteria or something more sinister.

    White Threadlike Worm

    I have a solid bristleworm population and this is definitely not one of them. It was out under regular lights on my rear intake. Any thoughts on what it is?

    Boring Worm on Goni

    Wanted to post this just for everyone's knowledge. One of my Goni colonies stopped opening 2 weeks ago with all the others, just fine. So, I read an article about worms boring into the skeleton at the bottom of the base and I decided to take a look. Well sure enough there was a large worm...

    My microscope isn’t the best but do these look like large cell dinos and what is this microscopic red worm?

    Flatworms

    Would this be a flatworm that could be killed by using flatworm exit? I currently have a sixline(been in for 2months) and a yellow coris wrasse(just added yesterday) but this population on my euphyllia keeps coming back and it kills like a head each month even when dipping every week for four...

    What is on my haitian anemones foot?!

    I got this anemone yesterday and he seems to be doing really well. He has stayed open since I got him and has found a spot that he seems to like. This morning I noticed that he appears to have something on his foot. I have no idea what it is but assume it may just be poop? Can someone please...

    Christmas Rock Update

    I recently took some pictures of my Christmas tree rock, absolutely love this piece! So much bio diversity on a ‘boring’ rock. Bought this rock two years ago when my tank was just three months old. The worms are doing great but some time ago the Cyphastrea on the rock died off. I might glue a...
