worms

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? I thought it was one, but now I see three?

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.

Not sure what exactly these are.

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.

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.

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...

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...

I clean my tanks multiple times and rid all tanks of sand went bare bottom. Still I find worms wiggling through the water column but only after feeding frozen mysis shrimp. Anyone else experience this or is it cheaper brands of fish/coral food that is careless with product quality? Anyone...

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.

Hello Everyone This is a thread to hopefully finally figure out what these strange worms are. These have appeared in many threads in the past several years but so far we have no true ID , as it seems they are becoming more prevalent in our systems , I thought I would put together one final...

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?

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...

I noticed a transparent/translucent worm on my glass. It's not big, maybe half an inch. It also has odd looking mouth parts. Any ideas?

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

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...

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...

I have a small powder blue that eats, but doesn't get any meat on his bones. From top view, he looks like a tadpole. Full belly but skinny body. Ive been trying to give him metroplex on mysis once or twice a day but im not really sure he's eating it, he's shy. He will eat non medicated though...

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...

I need an ID! Found these guys just now (lights are off). They were floating / swimming around in a 160 gallon. I only saw these… 1 black / white and 5 red pinkish / white.

Hello Fellow LPS owners - I wanted to share my recent experience and see if anyone has had similar observation. My circumstantial evidence only points to Bristle worm at some part of lifecycle being responsible. My tank had a huge algae outbreak - primarily due to lack of maintenance (fully my...

I just got some new live rock from another hobbyists tank and found these worms. Anyone have any idea what they are and if they are harmful?

I’ve had this candy cane Coral since March I think. It’s always been two heads. But for a while now one has always been bigger than the other and the other one won’t open up because there is no space. Also not sure how candy canes grow but I’ve had two heads since March which kinda sucks. Not...

Hi. I’ve had this candy cane Coral for a while now. And recently it’s been developing these worms or some sort of slime on the stalk of it, not sure what it is. There is also those white dots on it aswell. And recently when I was on vacation they have formed everyone on my tank. The back...

Hi! I’ve had these weird worms on my corals before and these little bubble things on my corals and now they are growing on my rocks. I’m not sure what these are. I was never worried about these until I just saw them right now on my rocks. I will upload a couple of pictures.
