ReefAddict Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Anyone know what these are? The pic shows one, but they appear in pairs about 3/4 to 1" long. They are on several rocks. On closer look, they look segmented with dark / light alterations in color. Thanks for any help. E Link to comment
darwin604 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I've got those in my tank too . . I've been told they're spaghetti worms. If they're the same as mine they are actually little tube worms and those tentacles go out and pick stuff up (peices of sand / food etc). d. Link to comment
thisanthrope Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 cirratulid worms (often misidentified as spaghetti worms). If they are, they're harmless and will help keep your sandbed shifting. They're most frequently seen with their gills (look like tentacles) hanging out from inside the mound they will construct as a home. Link to comment
darwin604 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Those look exactly like what I have too . . interesting. And yeah, they seem to like building little clumps of sand. d. Link to comment
ReefAddict Posted January 22, 2004 Author Share Posted January 22, 2004 Cool! Good to know they're goodguys and not wiseguys. Thanks for the info! Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I have those all over my huge turbo snail. Theres also a little barnacle thing near them with two little black antennas poking out that react to movement. Its so freaky! Link to comment
