Gravel tubes

Rick Krejci · Mar 4, 2019

Noticed this today. It's a gravel tube spanning between two of my rocks. It's about 1/4" in diameter. Knowing I have a Eunice worm in my tank that pops his head up occasionally, I read up on it, and it seems like they do make these tubes and make webbing in various voids which I also see. I should probably catch him, but he doesn't seem to be doing any harm....yet

Though I'd post this pic in case someone sees these tubes and was wondering what they have creeping around in their tank

That’s is terrifying knowing there’s one in your tank

LOL, yea, I should probably remove him...he's pretty cool looking and doesn't appear to be causing any issues. I've heard the rock-dwelling varieties of Eunice worms aren't the nasty ones. I've noticed several tubes now that I look for it...the thing apparently cruises through all the rocks.
