Worried about what this thing is

[Tim412]

So I've been asking for a lot of help oh here I'm sorry. I'm new to saltwater so I dont have a lot of knowledge so all the help would be much appreciated. So I have this worm thing on my rock, it seems like its attached to it, I thought it might of been a feather duster but haven seen anything but the worm itself move.

Anyone???

 

[Tahoe61]

Vermitid

Does it have a stringy net that comes out of it? Clear? Or feathers?

 

[Arthacker87]

That's what I was thinking

Maybe a peanut worm? Let's ask the expert@KJ

 

[Arthacker87]

Is that green thing in the top a coral or majano?

The brown tube looks like a vermatid snail tube... can be a nuisance.

Several of the white spiral shells on the rock are spirinoid snail shells... harmless.

Yea that's some kind of galaxea coral. Thanks everyone so should I be worried about the brown tube thing or take it out?

 

[Arthacker87]

I have some in my tank they are help clean extra anything but they can reproduce pretty quick. A small flat head (like the one to adjust your refractometer) can pop em off rock work and pick them up and toss em if ya want. They are ok but can irritate coral with their webs

I just crush them when I find them

I do the ones on the front lol. On back hey go clean, ain't hurting me.
