    I’ve noticed a branching like pattern coming up from my sand bed on the glass that looks like little hairs once in a while the past few months.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    Are these harmful? ID please

    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...

    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.
