Works on Coral?

[Andrew Schubert]

I noticed some small white worm like things growing on my zoa frag. Are they works? If so what kind? I noticed them about a week ago and have been monitoring ever since. They don't appear to be moving, and are always in the same spot. So I'm not sure what they are??? I did dip the Coral before addinf it to the tank a little over a month ago now.

Worms you mean?

If so, yes tube worms. And that's one that there is simply no avoiding.

Spirorbids. Harmless filter feeder. Like stated above, there is no avoiding them

Thanks. I was afraid I introduced something bad to the tank. I hope they do go away as I've read they can overtime bc they sure r ugly...lol

agreed, they are going to show up at some point. You can think about it like a "natural" complement. These mark an established and healthy tank. in some scenarios you, ive found them to be visually pleasing. Ive been told my back glass looks like the night sky

My tanks only about 2 months old. So I must be doing something right then if this is a good sign
