here's a much better picture.Medusa worms are sea cucumbers... I don't see anything like that in your pics
Yeah Medusa Worm is a term generally used to refer to specific kinds of Apodid (taxonomic order Apodida) sea cucumbers (though the term is also applied to Loimia medusa, a type of Spaghetti Worm, and is sometimes generalized to mean any kind of Spaghetti Worm - spaghetti worms are from the taxonomic family Terebellidae).Medusa worms are sea cucumbers... I don't see anything like that in your pics
Yeah... no, not really.here's a much better picture.
Actually spaghetti worms (Terebellidae) are relatively rare in reef tanks. Hair worms (Cirratulidae) we're misidentified a number of years ago as spaghetti worms, and the name has stuck despite the fact that the worms that we see in our tanks are almost always hair worms...Yeah, sea cucumbers (as long as your tank is cuke-safe and you're prepared for any potential toxin issues) are neutral/beneficial (sand-sifting cukes are good CUC, filter feeding cukes are neutral). Spaghetti worms sometimes look freaky, but they're neutral/beneficial too.

What to do with Medusa worm?
I found about 3-4 Medusa Worms in my tank, I have read that they can be beneficial to help the CUC. But also have heard if stressed they can kill all life in tank. Right now they are only about 1/2” long. My question is leave them or somehow try to remove them. more info 75 gallon DT 25 gallon...www.reef2reef.com
there were at least 10 meaning there must be a ton more. I got a lot of them last night. I'm transferring tanks at the end of the month. won't be using any of the existing rock and I'm going to dip all the corals again. don't feel like dealing with toxic critters.Yeah, sea cucumbers (as long as your tank is cuke-safe and you're prepared for any potential toxin issues) are neutral/beneficial (sand-sifting cukes are good CUC, filter feeding cukes are neutral).
