Worm ID

[Gary A]

Anyone Have Any Idea, I Did Find Some Bristle Worms A Month Ago, I Thought It Now Was Under Control. I Added A Arrow Crab, 4 Worm Eating Shrimps, A Worm Trap That Only Caught A Fish |: ,, Yesterday Added A Wrasse. Any Help Much Appreciated !

Aptasia. F-aptasia is the common cure.

 

[Gary A]

Wow, Never Would Have Guessed That, Thanks I'll Research It !

Wait, just want to make sure I have this correct. You thought an aiptasia anemone was a worm? I sat here for several minutes zooming in on the pictures looking for a worm, lol. Also, bristle worms are beneficial, they’re great detritivores.

 

[olonmv]

No problem. I don’t have any experience with these so I can’t help you past the ID but I have read that F-aptasia is the go to. That and I’ve read that when they’re messed with they can release spores and multiple really fast. Good luck!

Yeah i looking for worm also but only see a torch coral and an aptasia and tentacle off a shrimp so if you mean that aiptasia on rock in left picture? Then thats aiptasia

 

[Gary A]

I pulled the one rock I found it in and one coral that also had it. I have a 180g with 150 lbs of live rock. I hope I caught it in time.

Yes hanging out of the rock, looks like a feather duster...

Would help if its in water, but if you can see the face and the face is fuzzy, it's a bearded.
