worm

idk how I got these tiny feather duster guys in the first place but they are getting completely out of control. I really don’t mind them on my rockwork but they are completely covering my eagle eye zoa. I’ve tried picking at them and brushing them off with no luck.. I heard from my lfs that a...

I'm trying to ID this guy (white hairy/bristlelike worm on glass) to know if I should pull it or keep it. I have new tank with florida aquacultured live rock. I'm hoping it's not a bristleworm as I know they're bad and have to go. I'd like to keep it if will be helpful stirring up the sand...

I like the look of coco worms after deciding against a sea cucumber. I have a few questions to start with if anybody can help me. 1. Are they hard to care for 2. Could one fit in a 16 gallon biocube

I have had flat worms for a while now hoping the would recede as of now they look like they’re getting worse. Should use use flatworm x. Any recommendations or suggestions will be helpful. Trying to get ride of them.

I just moved my livestock to a new tank, and when I picked up my big hammer colony for the first time in months it had these dark worms and white spongey stuff all over the base. What is it? Is it harmful? I see some of the same white on another hammer. What is it?

I was rearranging my scape and took two large pieces of live rock out overnight. This giant worm was on the floor, still moving so I put it in water. Bobbit worm, correct? I had 3-5 fairy wrasses disappear in the last year and a half. Most recently a Naoko. All new additions so I assumed...

Hi all, I'm wondering if you all can help me figure out what pest is on my neon green cabbage leather? They are white and are about 4mm long and 1 to 1.5mm thick. They only seem to be in my cabbage leather and nothing else in the tank as far as I can tell. I did a RODI rinse and it seemed like...

Can anyone please help me identify what I have growing throughout my reef tank? Are they going to become a problem? If so, does anyone know of a natural predator that would be reef safe?

Hi, I have two different subjects that need ID-ing. First, I've been battling Amphidinium Dinoflagellates and have been dosing Silica (Brightwell's SpongExcel) to encourage diatoms. Here's the first shot. Looks to me like possibly pennate diatom. Thoughts? Second, Just recently dipped a...

I think/hoping its just a bristle worm, but the pictures I've looked up look a little different from this guy in my tank. This is the best video I have, hoping to get more evidence. Thoughts?

what are these little brown like clear worms? and are they good or bad? Sorry can’t really get good pictures they are tiny.

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...

Newbie here, seen it get larger over past few weeks there’s two growths on it, Thoughts???

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...

Pale pink worm. Have any idea?

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...

Saw this a minute ago and was able to snag it with some tongs. Anyone know what it is?

Is this a spaghetti worm. If not can someone please identify?? Was found on the glass of my tank last night

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.
