bad for coral?
I have read differing opinions. Some say harmless but others say they irritate corals. Maybe they irritate only certain corals or it depends on how close they are which could be why some members don't have issues while others do. I don't think I read anything that said they attack corals they just irritate them and thus polyp extension is affected. I read a post on here where someone thought their zoa wasn't opening because of them. You can do some research on here about them and decide for yourself. If you only see a few and can get at them maybe remove them but I would research the best way to get them out. I don't know if they can be pulled out or maybe you have to scoop them out with some sand. Others might chime in. Currently I run a pretty sterile tank (I love biodiversity just not in my tank) so I haven't had to deal with creepy crawlies... at least not yet.
Any pictures?
It could also be spaghetti worms or similar.Ok so I noticed these little tunnels in my substrate and was curious. As I got a closer look I saw tiny little worm-looking things moving around. They seem to be sensitive to light. If anyone has an idea what they could be, please let me know. I appreciate it.
Of your tank
LOL. I thought it was odd you would want to see pics of worms. Haha. I just looked at the photos of my tank and they're all old. I will get a new one and post it. I should've done it a couple days ago when I cleaned it. It was so sparkly clean. LOL
Here's a pic of my 5g, 8 months young. (I had to wait until lights came on this morning). Just a few easy corals (mainly gorgs) and a few fish. Nothing is glued down yet. It makes it easier to deal with the uglies when I can move them out of the way to clean.
If you're using a phone for your camera, try putting it in manual mode and adjust the white balance as high as you can. Closer to 10k is best. It helps with pictures under blues.Here's a pic of my 5g, 8 months young. (I had to wait until lights came on this morning). Just a few easy corals (mainly gorgs) and a few fish.

Thanks for this. I thought people liked seeing blue pics. LOL. And the blue hides some of the algae. I don't want anyone being able to see details. Haha. Thanks for the suggestion. I will check that out. I have never bothered looking at my phone's camera settings. Ironically I was running white a lot higher on my tank for the afternoon and pics always looked so nice. I dialed them down when I hit the uglies so it's more blue but I keep forgetting the whites are down when I take pics.
Apparently my LG Android phone has a garbage camera (at least for adjusting). It doesn't go beyond 7400k. Here's one a bit whiter looking. I should just bump the whites for photos. LOL
I cleaned it up a little? Not much, but a little clearer?Apparently my LG Android phone has a garbage camera (at least for adjusting). It doesn't go beyond 7400k. Here's one a bit whiter looking. I should just bump the whites for photos. LOL
Edit: Attaching photo again.
Nah, can't even tell.I cleaned it up a little? Not much, but a little clearer?
