Tube worms and vermetid snail are two different things.Probably feather duster worms then. Tube worms/vermatid snails are red and extend out a single long tentacle. They're easy to spot after you've scraped algae because it gets stuck to them.
Tube worms and vermetid snail are two different things.
This is the problem with using common names. Vermetids are snails and tube worms are worms. The term "tube worms" is pretty generic and encompasses a lot of worms. Coco worms, feather dusters, spirorbids, etc are all tube worms. I'm too lazy to look up the name right now (making me a part of the problem...lol), but there is a tube worm that looks like a vermetids tube. I suspect that a lot of these threads incorrectly identify harmless tube worms as vermetids. Nobody asks specifics. They just say vermetids and tell you to get rid of them. Thousands of innocent tube worms are killed each year...lol.Really? The last time I Googled 'tube worms reef tank', all I got were pictures of vermetid snails. Have I been wrong all this time?
That's a type of vermetid.Wow, thanks! So what are the ones that are in a little red tube and throw out a single long tentacle? Because I've been getting more and more of those.
