They like to do that, are you feed frozen by chance? If not try a small amount and they might not look for the meat of the worms as much

They have seaweed and frozen mysis mostly

I feed them @ReefFrenzy and my kids go crazy for it.

Oh I wonder if they'd ship to the uk? Will send them a message to ask. Thanks for the suggestion!

Unfortunately due to restrictions on meat, fish and dairy US food products like LRS were not permitted to enter the UK when they were part of the EU. I have no idea what is in the future for imports to the UK but unfortunately at this time we lack the resources to pursue it until we get caught up with US demand.

Thanks for the reply. That's a shame

Welcome to R2R, What are the fish that you have in the system? This my answer your question why the fish are eating the tube worm. I have a matted file fish and he thought they were aptaisa and ate them.

+1

So the fish made a hole in the tube and now the worm has left the tube Should I let him do his thing or intervene?

Welcome Lisa! You picked a great place , with lots of people who are very knowledgable and will help you. I'm sorry I can't answer you question about the tube worm but I'm sure someone else will chime in. Oh and btw we love pictures!

Thank you! It looks like it's slowly returning to its tube so fingers crossed it stays in there from now on!

Very nice tank! In my opinion the fox face is looking for meaty food and going after the worms. I would roll with it, and see if the fox face loses interest in the worms. You could head down to the local fish monger and make you own food (finally chopped squid, scallop, oysters, white fish, brine shrimp, plankton, mysis shrimp, nori. better it you run it through a grinder(make sure there are no phosphates in the scallops) and that might help with nipping in the future

I've picked them up some new meaty food and they have left the worm alone since! Thanks for the advice!
