NaturallyKait Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed these little white spirals all over the false wall in my Evo, and now on my rocks. I’ve never worried about them, I assume they’re harmless. I’ve noticed now though that my bumblebee snail (who I almost never see because he only comes out at night) is absolutely covered in them too. You can barely see the snail’s shell. What are these things? Should I be worried? 2 Quote Link to comment

They actually help give the tank a more natural look and I like them. 2 Quote Link to comment
billygoat Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Literally every mature reef tank is populated with these worms, so yeah, definitely nothing to worry about. 😊 They only really become a nuisance if they begin to grow on your glass. If that's the case they can be easily removed with a glass scraper or razor blade. 1 Quote Link to comment

I only worried when I saw my snail absolutely covered in them and I didn’t know if it would hurt the snail. Quote Link to comment
