Crakeur Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Anyone have a good link for worm identification? I spotted what I at first thought was the spine of a fish (having had no deaths that weren't removed from the tank I was a bit curious) but this bad boy moved. Seconds later I noticed a smaller version worm in another part of the tank. They are white with clumped (evenly spaced) bristles. Any link would be appreciated. Thanks reefers Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 sorry dude.... I have taxo micro bio SOLID TANGEABLE BOOKS.... LOL But If you can find 2 issues Marine Fish and Reef 1999 and 2002 ANUALS they are good issues with worm ids. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted September 10, 2002 Author Share Posted September 10, 2002 thanks Dave. Next time the little buggers come out I will take a pic for y'all. Really freaky looking thing. Hopefully it isn't something dangerous to the reef. Link to comment
