Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
possible. they tend to look like a worm with many threads though. if you pull one up out of the sand to view it better you might see more.
I can see the many threads without pulling one up it's just not showing in the video.
 
Are these spaghetti worms?

Mine are orange/red but they may come in different colors. Also could be a hair worm. Both are good cuc.

They look white to me I think they are neat. Lol
 
I fish a lot in the summer time, from the knees down, I look Indonesian
We had a red tide down here the other day, Jimmy. There was flounder shrimp, and crabs all over the beach, but since vibrio outbreaks have been so bad down here this year, they wouldn't let anyone harvest anything from that beach.

This is a necrotizing flesh eating bacteria.
At It's worst in the Gulf this year.
Two people I grew up knowing from fishing got it. One died, and the other lost his leg. My best friend got it on his foot and he's steady having parts of it removed. I think he'll eventually lose the whole foot.
 
Think I will check out these coral sales going on, I did loose 2 gonies and my torch during my dino and cyano fight. wish I would have waited until I got to where I am now. The torch just has waisted away to nothing , the last few days its officially gone , it would not come back for nothing. So since @Calmwaters has been coral shopping, I will too
