Alex Rhe Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Hi, this is my first time posting here and I am wandering what sort if worm this is ( sorry the photo is bad) and whether it's bad or not and if so, the best way to get rid of it. I got up this morning and saw it. When I turned the aquarium light on, it seemed to try and slink back. This is my first marine set-up although I've had cold and tropical fresh water fish for years. Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment

Alex Rhe Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 I've circled it. Can anyone see it clearly enough? I can't take a clearer photo for now as I think it's gone into the coral. 1 Quote Link to comment

I've done a tiny bit of research on it but it seems pretty 50/50 whether its bad or not. What's your opinion of them showing? 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe something pissed it off that morning or maybe the flow was catching the edge and blowing it up. I wouldn’t worry about it unless the coral takes a turn for the worse. and welcome to NR. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment
