These are vermetid worm/snails!What are the purple tubes growing? Any idea Ed?
Love those !!I know it's hard to get good ones. This is Frogspawn thought you might like it also!
The bottom pic, with the multi layered wide tube- I haven't seen anything come out of it yet. The other little ones have different colors ( red, blue , purple) feather tops that pop out. These are bad? I don't want bad.
They're tube worms and good guys. They're filter feeders the feather-like plume filters their food from the water..I thought they were. Really good to have!No these have feathers / crowns when they come out. :/ no slime. Little bitty crowns. They pop out and in. Got some better pics of my babies growing
The 3rd pic is Anthelia, the 4th looks like Rasta Zoas ( very nice ) and the last not sure but looks like red people eaters. The others are blued out I can't tell about them...very nice pieces!!No these have feathers / crowns when they come out. :/ no slime. Little bitty crowns. They pop out and in. Got some better pics of my babies growing
None with the feather filter are bad. They are tube worms, just watch the one that is darker brown, if you don't see any web-like slime strings flowing from the opening don't worry about it. If you do see the slime you can get rid of him. I have some that are just empty shells too.
Pulsing Xenia and Anthelia spread fast I like them both. Some reefers won't put them in their tanks because they can take over.. Keep them where you can get to them, you will have to frag them to keep them under control. That's just part of this hobby though. The LFS will probably take extras off your hands.
Lol, nah coco worms, feather dusters/feather hydroids are good + there pretty. None of them are bad, vermetid snails shed a mucous web from there tube when you feed the tank so they can catch food.
I tried. Nothing came up in your city. Probably 70 by same name in NC :/. Only one of me!
