cocoa worm

i have been pondering my latest hitchhiker. i have it narrowed down to some type of hard tubed coco worm. which i have discovered are kinda rare and expensive. also hard to keep. i must have a lot of nutrients in my water if these are poping out. yeah!, finally a perk to having crappy water. it's hard to get my point and shoot digatal camera to focos on small stuff in my tank, but here is a pic. i wanted to see if anyone else has seen this kind of worm. if you stare just right you can make out the white tube, and the red fuzzy crown.

Re: cocoa worm

why? what have you heard rigo?
try a fuzzy picture focusing trick that i learned. close one eye, hold two fingers up (to the eye thats open for those who are slow to catch on) like you are going to squish an ant. and slowly adust the gap in between your'e fingers until it focus in. believe it or not, it works.

Re: cocoa worm

If your talking about all the white worms all over the rock then I have those all over my tank walls and rock. I didn't get them till I got my last batch of live rock then they spread all over my newly set up 55.

Re: cocoa worm

Its hard to tell.If your talking about the white dots....looks like Spirobid(sp?) worms.
