worm

Hi Experts, noticed this hanging out of a hole in a rock. It is only about 2.5cm and didn't move much. Didn't get the chance to see rest of the body part (hidden in the hole). Could it be a baby brittle star or is it a worm? Thanks.

So I’m doing some maintenance today and I was moving my chalice when I noticed this growth on it. I’ve seen these guys on a rock I have in my sump that has fan worms on it so I figured they were baby worms until I saw them on the skeleton of my chalice. One was heavily infested while the others...

Hey guys, I’ve had these small zoas for a couple of weeks in my new tank. They’ve been dipped with “the dip” by fauna marin and then inserted in the aquarium. After a day, they started thriving and some polyps doubled already in size. However, its been a few days since many polyps haven’t...

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...

Noticed a few of these little buggers going in and out of tiny holes on my Hammer coral. Are they harmful? Thank you!

Small colony of semi translucent tubes on a piece of rock I bought from the lfs. Each polyp seems to have exactly 4 appendages with nodes near the tips.

Can someone please tell me what this is??

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I was getting through some weekend maintenance before the big game and noticed this black object embedded in some Zoas. Didn’t think much of it until I noticed it had little antennas. I’ve never seen a black worm/slug like this before. Any thoughts?

This thing has been crawling around, feeling and spreading and retracting it’s hairy tentacles. What is it? and is it reef friendly? Thank you in advance!

I was cleaning my filter today and found these all over my bioballs in my filter. Does anyone know what they are and what I should do about them?

I was doing some poking around to consider fragging some mushrooms and suddenly the mushroom retracted and shrunk, and seemed to spew these semi clear worm tentacles like things. Are these worms in the shrooms or the shrooms tentacles? Thank you all for your support and advice!

Hi any ideas? I’m new here and recently upgraded to a 75g mixed reef after my 30 nano exploded all over my living room. Not usually bothered by these but they were brushing up on that white part of my new monti frag. Are these just baby bristle worms? They are super tiny and seem to just wave...

I need your help! What are these tiny worms? I noticed a ton if these smaller worms, there are thousands of them. Looking for an ID on them.

I found this critter today. I am not sure what it is. Good or bad? Should it be killed with fire? Seems like a small orange worm with small white tentacles, or hairs, on one end and pointy on the other end. I hope the pics help. Thank you for your help!

I was cleaning one of my tanks and decided I might want to do some reworking of the rock. All was fine until I moved one of the foundation pieces and ALL OF THESE LITTLE THINGS CAME SQUIGGLING OUT ALL OVER FROM UNDER THE FLAT PIECE. I thought it was bristleworms but they also kinda look like...

I've just finished cleaning my tank out and noticed I have a few worms climbing around in my glass that I haven't seen before I am struggling to get identification on I have tried to look on lionfishlair to get an I'd but it won't load. Any help would be appreciated Not the easiest to take a...

The last few days i've noticed a bunch of pen tip sized white spots pop up on my glass. I managed to get a pretty good picture of it. Are these baby snails or some type of worm? It looks like a shell.

Sorry the pics bad, it retreated before I could get a good one It's white, has a black stripes down it, and is slender

Hi Guys I've just been watching my tank and noticed a ball of what looks like poop being dragged across the sand bed. Closer inspection and it looks like it is being dragged by a tentacle of sorts, or perhaps a worm? I'm trying to upload a video to show you so hopefully it uploads! :)

Some kind of worm coming out of this tube, thought was peanut worm orig in store and we tried to remove it. No idea what this is

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with a fluke like worm that has survived 30 days of cupramine at 0.5 as well as 3 weeks of prazi at double the dose every 4 days, as the first go round didn’t eliminate them. I removed all medicine 3 days ago and saw them flashing again today. Did a freshwater...

Hi guys, I have been in the hobby for awhile now and I have never came across anything like this in my tank. I wanted to know if you guys can help me identify what this is? Questions I have: Is it safe to touch? Does it release toxins? Is this what they call spaghetti worm.

The Odd creature ever ;Doctor ;Doctor ;Muted ;Doctor ;Doctor Found this one on corals I bought from LFS. 1st I saw it on one Gorgonian Sea FAN and it was really strange, because the string coming out of there was over 30cm long. The issue I can have I don't DIP that particular Gorgonian...
