spaghetti worm

Yep. Some will say they are good for the tank and act as part of the CUC, but I would remove it as they can irritate zoas and cause them not to open.

I've personally never seen a spaghetti worm harm or annoy anything, I think you're thinking of vermitid snails, they're known to annoy corals.

spaghetti worms are good CUC, they are detritivores IIRC.

+1, I have them in my DSB and they have never cased me any issues, I know fellow reefers that go out of their way to find them.

I'd like to find some more, I think I lost all of mine during my upgrade.. haven't seen any in the new tank..

Nah I have had them in zoa colonies and they do irritate them. As do vermatid snails.
