I know it's hard to get good ones. This is Frogspawn thought you might like it also!Love those. They look similar to some we found last night growing. Neon green. Cannot for the life of me get any good pics!

The bottom pic, with the multi layered wide tube- I haven't seen anything come out of it yet. The other little ones have different colors ( red, blue , purple) feather tops that pop out. These are bad? I don't want bad.These are vermetid worm/snails!
They're tube worms and good guys. They're filter feeders the feather-like plume filters their food from the water..I thought they were. Really good to have!No these have feathers / crowns when they come out. :/ no slime. Little bitty crowns. They pop out and in. Got some better pics of my babies growing
The 3rd pic is Anthelia, the 4th looks like Rasta Zoas ( very nice ) and the last not sure but looks like red people eaters. The others are blued out I can't tell about them...very nice pieces!!No these have feathers / crowns when they come out. :/ no slime. Little bitty crowns. They pop out and in. Got some better pics of my babies growing
None with the feather filter are bad. They are tube worms, just watch the one that is darker brown, if you don't see any web-like slime strings flowing from the opening don't worry about it. If you do see the slime you can get rid of him. I have some that are just empty shells too.The bottom pic, with the multi layered wide tube- I haven't seen anything come out of it yet.

Thought you would like them!Love those !!
Pulsing Xenia and Anthelia spread fast I like them both. Some reefers won't put them in their tanks because they can take over.. Keep them where you can get to them, you will have to frag them to keep them under control. That's just part of this hobby though. The LFS will probably take extras off your hands.Nothing yet but now watching like a hawk! My Kenya trees are getting huge! Growing every day! Amazing how fast these things grow. Others are blue snowflake ( from what aquarium guy says) been feeding everything liquid foods for corals and calcium every few weeks. I swear the trees have tripled in size! The pulsing xenias are spreading too!
It's awesome to see them healthy and growing, I had five new Zoas I guess last week..made my day to find them..neat! Glad you're happy with it.Nothing yet but now watching like a hawk!

Lol, nah coco worms, feather dusters/feather hydroids are good + there pretty. None of them are bad, vermetid snails shed a mucous web from there tube when you feed the tank so they can catch food.The bottom pic, with the multi layered wide tube- I haven't seen anything come out of it yet.
