Lizbeth90 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi all I recently looked at my tank 2 hours in after the light had gone down. I saw some weird tiniest, very thin looked like the smallest worms ever in my sand and one was actually wiggling in the water. Should this be a concern? Or is this normal to find? I also found a snail that I did not place in my tank. It shell is like a “clam” shell flat in a way and it’s antennas were super long(longer than the snails I’m used to seeing) I hope my pictures work for identifying Quote Link to comment
Bob4449 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 What kind of coral are these? I don’t know what terms to use to search by. The orange one is what I’m really concerned with because it is losing to the green weed stuff. Quote Link to comment

Not sure on the worms. Need a much better close up macro shot to say. If it has bristles of any sort then its most likely a reef safe bristleworm. 27 minutes ago, Bob4449 said: What kind of coral are these? I don’t know what terms to use to search by.

First might be a favia of some sort but I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Awww stomatellas are cute, usually come out at night. I used to have an abalone in my 40! Good guys! Like @mndfreeze said, if its tiny thin worms, usually beneficial. :) really good sign your substrate has flourishing fauna! 1 Quote Link to comment
