caja Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Spirorbid worms. Their tube is a circular spiral and the crown of the worm is not usually visible. Link to comment
Infiniti Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 so is that good or bad? Link to comment
caja Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Perfectly fine. They're filter feeders and will multiply. Link to comment
Infiniti Posted October 26, 2003 Author Share Posted October 26, 2003 thanks alot! i search the net for those worms and it's exactly what i have. but i couldn't come up with pros and cons. just wondering, how in the world did u know what they were called?? Link to comment
caja Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Found them while I was doing some digging on the internet for info on reef tank hitchikers. Don't worry about them. If they overrun the sides of your tank, (which is highly unlikeky) you can just scrape them off with a razor blade. Most of mine are located on this one particular piece of LR...quite a large colony growing on it. I do have some on the sides and back of the tank too. Link to comment
