Hello fellow Reefers!
I made a post a few days ago asking for help validating some hitchhiker ID's I made.
It didn't garner too much attention, but for the most part I got the answers I was looking for, with one exception (sort of).
At first I thought there was some Aptasia in my Acan colony, but after noticing there were only two feelers ever sticking out (pictured below), I was less sure.
My Suspicions seem to have been validated by user @EricR (thanks again!), who has suggested that it could be a Spionid worm rather than Aptasia. After doing some more research it does seem like it could very well be a Spionid worm.
My hope with this post is that some others can double confirm this for me, and recommend the right course of action.
From my research It sounds like gluing them shut is one option, but it might end up just burrowing through the coral even more?
Of course, I am open to other potential ID's anyone would like to suggest if they think its something else entirely.
A brief of my tank is below, but feel free to check out my build thread/ask me for more info if it helps.
Thanks in advance for any help!
