Spaghetti worms/GSP frag

[lone_wolff]

Someone else posted something similar so I think it is a bundle of spaghetti worms. Just want to confirm. Did a h2o2 dip to try to clear up some hair algae that is taking over the frag and a bundle of these guys came rolling out. I’ve seen one or two coming out previously but wasn’t sure if they were the GSP’s tentacles.

Those are spaghetti worms, I don’t think GSP have sweepers. There are types of fish that would eat them.

+1 on spaghetti worm, I believe 6 lines love them

Canary blenny would I own a six line and he hasn’t but that could be just mine

Thanks everyone. Are they generally considered bad?

No, good detritus feeders.

I don't know if that was my post or not, but I did have some on my corals. After the h2o2 dip for 45 sec -minute rinse and hit with a toothbrush. I haven't seen any for a while. Just be warned the GSP will close up for a few days, but their pretty hardy. When your hitting the GSP with a toothbrush I would recommend brushing it a little bit lighter then you would brush algae off a rock. It will turn kind of a pinkish color when its all nice and clean. Mine did anyway.

I scrubbed for a bit but only had a stiffish brush, didn’t want to damage anything. I’ll hit it again in a week or so. Thanks for the input.

What's a starfish brush?

Stiffish, like more stiff then soft. A word I made up.

Is this to say that you disagree?

No......its to say, Who cares. No one cares if they eat detritus. They want them gone.

Gotcha.

The h2o2 did doesn't work on them. I went to Harbor Freight and got some scrappers (like the dentists use) and tried removing them from the plug. I just did that today so I don't know how that worked yet.
