I’ve been noticing a few of these coming out of the rocks lately. So far I haven’t had any fish losses or coral damage I can see. One night a small firefish/dartfish went to sleep right next to the hole of one of the biggest worms in the tank and come the next day the fish was fine. I cant tell if it’s a very bad bearded fireworm or a less aggressive type of fireworm, eurythoe complanata. What do you think?
