Help! There are more (Medusa worms)!!!!

so get home to feed and I notice my royal gramma is now missing (another story because he’s still gone!). So I get to looking around with my light to see if he’s hiding. I still have not located him but I found like 4 more of these! Only was able to remove 2 including this larger one. What should I or could I do about this?!?!? I’ve seen they can be very toxic if harmed or killed. Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they ok to have? I’m a bit freaked out as I only thought I had one and it was removed. And now my gramma is gone

You may want to take note of where they are located in your tank and remove the rock there in to capture them. It will probably be a pain but it is necessary.

They will eat any fish or inverts they can catch, it's best to remove them. You may want to take note of where they are located in your tank and remove the rock there in to capture them. It will probably be a pain but it is necessary.

I’ve even seen a bunch of little ones on the back wall. How are there so many? Do they multiple that fast?

How old is your tank? Where did you get your rock from? Are you sure the little ones on your back wall are the same?

That im not sure of, most people only report finding one. How old is your tank? Where did you get your rock from? Are you sure the little ones on your back wall are medusa?

It was all dry rock. I got one small piece from the lfs (I mean small) with coraline on it in the sump. Could have come from the chaeto. Don’t know. It’s not quite 3 mths old.

Caught a buddy of his. This one wasn’t even in the first count of 4. So at least two more 1” long ones on the loose.

The two very small ones on the back wall were hard to completely indenty as Medusa but looked similar and move like the bigger ones. Can’t find them now to take a pic.
