Ah I see, thank you. Do they harm coral? I've noticed they've started to grow on top of my GSP and Favias skeleton.Spirorbid worms, harmless/beneficial filter-feeders but as you've noticed they spread rather quickly
No, they should be harmless.Ah I see, thank you. Do they harm coral? I've noticed they've started to grow on top of my GSP and Favias skeleton.
Really? For more filter feeders?I wish I had spirorbid worms in my tank.
I don't have any filter feeders.Really? For more filter feeders?
I also have a sponge that I can't seem to get rid of that grows like a week and took over half my GSP before I trimmed it.
I doubt that's why the crab diedI have these all over my quarantine tank and am hoping I can scrap them from the shells of my snails with a dental pick and sand paper. I do not want these in my tank. It came in on an emerald crab I ordered from Live Aquaria and was so bad it wasn't able to molt and eventually died. At least I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I tried so hard to fatten him up with bits of fish etc., to get it to molt but no dice. (4 months)
Highly unlikely that they caused the death of your crab. They're completely harmless, sometimes crabs will just have a bad molt.I have these all over my quarantine tank and am hoping I can scrap them from the shells of my snails with a dental pick and sand paper.

Well you may be right but it was completely encrusted in them. You could see a bit of green on it's legs but that's it. It wasn't a bad molt there was no molt.I doubt that's why the crab died
I never said bad molt.Well you may be right but it was completely encrusted in them. You could see a bit of green on it's legs but that's it. It wasn't a bad molt there was no molt.
