What is this in my rock?

ScottyD36 · Dec 3, 2020

I recently purchased a Zoa. I did a coral dip and a peroxide dip. Tonight I noticed on the frag the Zoa was on these little tentacle like arms coming out from underneath the rock. Anyone know what it is and if it is good or bad. Attached is a video of whatever it is.

Possibly a majano anemone

The chemical I used to remove the Majano anemones was calcium hydroxide. It is commonly referred to as Kalk wasser, Kalk, and Pickling Lime.

Videos don’t play but looks like spaghetti or spionid worm.

Spionid worm, harmless

Just two little string like tentacles is a spionid. WWC seems to have them in their system judging by several frags I've received from them.

That is absolutely not a majano.

Most likely spaghetti worm. Harmless.

2 tentacles = spionid

If there's a bunch more = spaghetti

Hard to tell from the pic.

So all Harmless then?

More or less. Spionid's do live inside the coral and slowly build sort of tube like structure outward. I have one in a Toxic waste lepto and another came in on a Rainbow Madness cyphastrea frag, both from the aforementioned vendor. They don't seem to be bothered, but I'd rather not have a worm living inside them. I superglued the one in the cyph and that seemed to work. Haven't gotten around to doing the same with the lepto yet.
