Is there anything that dissolves the shells they leave behind? I know they're harmless but theres a buildup in the back of my tunze powerhead and making the propeller fall out of its spinning position. I'm a little frustrated because i spent 40$ last week to replace the magnetic part as it was rusty... Shouldve bought a new one....
I'm pretty positive its a type of these worms because the motor is filled with a thin layer of "white very solid stuff" with maybe 2-3 round "white solid things" with a little brownish hole on the top that strongly resembles these type of worms.
I got most of my equipment used and slowly refurbishing everything. Theyre impossible to scrape off in that little tight space where the propeller goes. I got some of it off with a thick needle but im trying to find a way to do it more easily. In 30 min of scraping I only got maybe 5% off after soaking it in vinegar for 3 hours. White vinegar doesnt seem to be doing much.
Other question : will they start appearing in my new tank now? All the equipment has been dry for at least 48 hours
