rcar1046 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I've had my live rock (5 lbs Fiji, 10 lbs Marshall) in for about 5 days. These little white things started appearing about 2 days ago. There are only about 10-15 spread out around the aquarium, but they do appear to be multiplying. they are definitely NOT alive.

rcar1046 Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 I'm thinking it just gathered debris in the small holes in the LR forced out by something, but mine appears to be gathered in certain areas that indicate they were either carried there, or left there by something.

format32 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I remember a thread about this somewhere. If i am not mistaken it has something to do with worms. Link to comment
rcar1046 Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 that must be a big worm. The "poo" is about 3/4" long. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 i've seen larger, much larger/longer. :x you can sweep/siphon them up, chances are the next morning you'll have some more. the worms are nocturnal and hiding deep in bored caves/tunnels in the LR. Link to comment
format32 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 So is that what it is? Worm poo? I dont think so. Is it? Link to comment
rcar1046 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 Is there any reason to remove them? Can they be harmful/helpful in any way? Link to comment

format32 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 So, did we get a solid answer on what these things are? Link to comment
rcar1046 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 A vague one, but at least we have some idea now. Link to comment
