aiptasia and sponge

 

[bakermom]

Here’s what I’m talking about.

 

[DJF]

Aptasia and sponges. Sponges not a problem ; aptasia, look up f-aptasia and follow directions.

 

[Sticker shock]

Remove the aiptasia and ignore the sponge. Since the aiptasia is on the sandbed just scoop it out asap. If you find more on the rocks proceed with f-aiptasia, aiptasia-x or peppermint shrimp.

Doubtful it's a spaghetti worm. Looks like a hair worm to me.

Both are good guys but 1.spaghetti worms are relatively rare in our tanks, and 2. spaghetti worms are white, not brown/striped.

This is one that I’ve seen a handful of times but haven’t been able to nail down an ID for yet - the best guess I’ve seen so far is that it’s a foraminiferan of some variety, but I haven’t been able to verify that. These do seem to be totally harmless, and they seem to go away on their own after a while, IIRC.

For a similar specimen:

Orange spiney coral growing on glass?

Any idea what this is? Have a couple others on different parts of the glass. It's been growing as well.

Edit: Just to add, I’ve heard from one or two sources now that these things can move )I’m not sure if it’s purposeful movement or not), but they generally seem to stay in place. (This is one of two ID’s that has been bothering me for a while now, so if anyone has ideas to point us in the right direction, let me know.)

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I see what looks like some white vermetid snail tubes (they seem to spiral at the base, or I would guess tube worm tubes), some spirorbid worms, and probably a barnacle in that last pic (the round white thing) - I can't see the black things well enough, but with the tube-like description, it may well be vermetid snails again.

This is a spaghetti worm. They’re detritivores. A little annoying if they’re by zoas but harmless.
