    Help to catch a large bristle worm

    Still have not caught it yet. Still have not even seen it again. Thanks for the pantyhose idea. I will be trying that in a few days. Do you prop them open a little bit or just let it find it's way in on it's own?

    3 IDs please!

    I agree barnacle. The palm looking things are probably some star polyps, and the last large thing is an encrusting SPS coral. Not sure what kind, but it looks to be some sort of caribean coral. Post pic when they open up more and we can help further.

    Help to catch a large bristle worm

    Cool. Keep the ideas coming. I will try a bunch of different things until I catch it. I caught one smaller bright yellow one last night. I have been sick so I have not been staying up late. When I feel better I'll start staying up later and watching at night. This worm does not seem to stay at...

    Help to catch a large bristle worm

    I saw those, but I think my worm is larger than the entire trap is. I will look at one and make it out of PVC piping. I think I can make one. Thanks.

    I.D. yellow worm

    Well thats just great. I have a huge one in my tank. I just saw it the other day and I am now trying to catch it. I think this is what has been eating my small clams. Also some of my zoo colonies will just degrade for no apparant reason at some time. They will grow, grow, grow, then a large...

    2 small clams eaten, one large clam still alive

    I bought a new clam about 3-4 months back and it died about a week or so after I had it. I chalked it up to hermits or my porcelian crab. Hermits are in my sump and my porcelians were about 3 yrs old so they both died. I bought a new squamosa last weekend. This morning I woke up and he too was...

    Tangs and angels love aussie acans. Aussie acans seem to be more tasty for whatever reason. Keep an eye on you angel fish if you get another one it might have been him.

    aro/icecap

    Most ballasts for aquariums are pretty good. Just because something is more expensive does not mean it's better. Look at the energy factor the higher the less it costs to run, warranty, and can you get a single, dual, or triple bulb ballast. I would go with either Ice Cap as the best, PFO, and...
