Hey guys!
At work, I had an older gentlemen ask if he could donate his entire 20 year old reef set up to my Aquarium store. I said yes as we take in unwanted fish and refurbish old tanks/equipment.
He ended up donating a ton of live rock, corals, fish, LOTS of equipment, supplies, and even his 20 gal. reef tank with a metal stand and 10 gal. sump.
Anyways, I asked my boss if I should reef dip any of the new corals or live rock. He said no, just put it into the system. So I did. Fast forward to the next day; I took a very good look at the live rock and noticed gold/yellow strings. At first, I thought it was a type of sponge. However, I noticed it on various other rocks and even some corals.
Not being able to see that closely, I took photos with my phone and zoomed in. To my horror, the strings appear to be some type of worm colony. Does anyone have any clue as to what it is? Is it harmful to the reefs?
