If you listened to everything you ever read on these forums, you would constantly be keeping all your fish in a quarantine tank with copper and Prizapro. Dipping your corals in tree stump remover, changing the water every 2 1/2 hours and using outside air in your skimmer so you don't change the pH. The rest of your free time you would be on the disease forums with 16 problems a day including where do you get calibration fluid for your expensive, not needed refractometer.

They are simple, cute, harmless tube worms that sit there minding their own business and occasionally remove some tiny bit of something floating in your water that maybe shed off your cat or parakeet.

So that is my thought on that. :cool:
It’s true- no cause for alarm and they’re not long lived anyway
