yankeereefer Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Just got home from work - My 10k PC lamp is burnt out So I'm looking at my actinically lit tank and see this: I about crapped - Quick google image search leads me to believe it's a spaghetti worm. I always thought spaghetti worms were the little legs sticking out of my sandbed - Who knew they were attached to something!!! someone please confirm and settle my heart Link to comment

Diatome Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Both of my tanks have several of these. They come out regularly in my 37. I think they start to crowd each other and decide to move. I keep getting little ones under my mag float scraper. I love these little guys. Little of course is subjective, had one that was a little over 8 inches long on the glass. Scared my twin 3 year olds and they ran out of the room to get away. Joys of being a reefer and a parent. Link to comment
zzpw3x Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Personally, I would kill it and smile while I did it. They took over my tank. They are alot like flatworms - they don;t hurt but they look like crap! Dale Link to comment
