Greetings,
Yesterday I noticed my Elegance was looking a bit stressed and
after watching closely for a few minutes I noticed a small 1/16th
inch worm crawling on the side of the coral. I moved some of the algea from
the side of the coral and saw 2 more of these little worms. I killed them
but fear a more wide spread infestation.
I suspect they came in on a piece of christmas tree rock I bought a bout
a month ago.
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this pest? It does not look
like a bristle worm. It is brown in color and does have legs.
can anyone reccomend a good worm eater? I have room for fish in
my 70 gallon tank but need to make sure any new additions are reef safe.
Thanks in advance,
Woffy
