We have a Christmas Worms Infestation in our tank!!

[BSA Corals]

Here's something to brighten up your quarantine! We recently land some ridiculous Christmas Worm rocks and had to do some Videos to show them off!

The Christmas Tree Worms (Spirobranchus giganteus) are tube-building polychaete worms that live embedded inside of stony corals (Porites mostly). They are filter feeders and rely on Phytoplankton and detritus to be healthy. If you look closely, you can see some Hermit crab that has taken over some old xmas worm tubes. These guys are filter feeder also and rarely leaves their home once they're happy, it's quite a show to watch them!

Hope you guys enjoy.

Huge worms on this colony and some interesting colors!

This is the biggest cluster that we've ever seen here at BSA Corals

And you probably paid $30 for them! I know I paid around that for the couple of tried to keep. Heck you used to get them with live rock from some of the sources.

There is a reason the didn’t post prices... and it’s not because they are a good buy.

It is because of all the people on here that can't just see the price and think to themselves "that is more than I would pay" and move on. No, they have to make a post on how it is way overpriced and they are gouging people and then the whole thread goes down hill.

Yes, I think they would just move on if price was listed.

Well, I can tell you that is why they started doing it this way. Many years ago they did post them and too many threads had to get "cleaned up" because of all the whining.

If anyone can find a source for show size Xmas tree worm rocks - with that many worms on them - I'm all ears.
