Hi there, any idea on these and got another hitchhiker that we couldn't get but looked like a Glass Anemone. The rock got a little vinegar water squirt followed by a nice shower of boiling water. Worm is about 5 inches long when spread out and skinny.

Any ideas on the worm and star? I'll keep them alive for the time being.

Asterina star.

Not horrid, not great, toss him.

That worm is interesting! I probably wouldn't keep it either but feel free to wait til someone else chimes in with an answer.

Just be careful boiling live rock.. Boil it outside. I read something where a person boiled live rock and something in it gave him major respiratory problems. I would just toss all those critters. I always pick off any starfish even if they are harmless, you never know. That worm is a strange color, not sure what he is

It was a thread on r2r where some guy tried and failed to boil palys off of a live rock. Sent him to the hospital and could have killed him. So yeah not a good idea :-p. If your trying to get rid of hitchikers you can do a freshwater dip of the live rock. Most of the critters should come scurrying out.

Do a search for Oenone fulgida.

 

That's him!

 

Sweet looking worm. Have you tried feeding him anything meaty to see if he would take it?

 

He ate the other worm in there and the water was full of his toxin kinda liquid.

 

In the end we sacrificed him to the porcelain god.

 

Been keeping an eye on the tank and think we are in the clear for now...
