njasmin Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Alright, this might seem like a noob type of question but there are VERY long sweepers coming off of my welso. The part that makes it strange is that they are coming from the side/bottom/kind of underneath the coral itself but still part of the tissue. Nowhere near its mouth or anything. I have seen them extend and retract. Makes me kind of nervous how long these things are with neighboring coral nearby. Is this normal? I darkened the photo in one of them to make it easier to see what is going on. Link to comment
frankdontsurf Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Tube worm under the coral is my guess Link to comment
njasmin Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 So should this be removed or is harmless? I have a 6 line wrasse in the tank, do they eat tube worms or just flat worms? Link to comment
joy13 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 You might check out vermetid snails you might have one or two under your coral. Link to comment
njasmin Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 There are some vermetids on my rocks, generally appear when I stir up the water before my water change. The sweeper on here resembles more of a fern like thing. Also when I first saw it this morning it retracted pretty fast, that is not too common of vermetids ime, it does kind of look like that though. Whatever it is, it is definitely under the coral Link to comment
