ReefJunkee Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 At first they weren't really a problem, but they are growing and expanding fast. I probably have over 30 of those worm-like creatures all over my tank. They attach themselves on one end and sway with the currents on the other end. I first noticed the macro algae almost two months ago. It is now moving to neighboring rocks. I was hoping someone could help me ID them? Link to comment

Builder Anthony Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The one on the left is a hydroid and is nothing to worry sbout it sends tenticles out to try and find food. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 The first are digitate hydroids, which aren't so bad. The caulerpa is more of a problem to control. Try to be careful if you decide to remove it to avoid releasing small pieces. Link to comment
ReefJunkee Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 You guys are great. Thank you! This caulerpa is going to be a pain. I took out the two rocks and removed as much as I could by hand. I even used a tooth brush for areas that were too small to reach. Even so, I can still see some traces of it left. Something tells me this won’t be the end of it… Link to comment
