I noticed the start of a spirorbid worm infestation on the back panel of my tank. I have a n. wennerae mantis shrimp, 2 clowns, and a turbo snail. I've tried cutting down my feeding, but that only slowed them down. is there anything I can do to eradicate them fully?
thank you

I honestly don't know


I've been through lots of pests - including upside down jellyfish in polyp phase and GHA - these are the only things that haven't just gone away on their own

You can scrape them off the back- and I have to scrape the glass because they regularly attempt to grow on the glass as well

The rock there's nothing you can do really.

But I'd love to know if there's a way to eradicate them.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
