While I was just staring at my tank I noticed this thing I don’t have a picture, but maybe some can help me identify my invader. Coming out of a small hole in my live rock a white worm (almost like a piece of thread) was reaching out and messing with (attacking?) one of my large polyps. Does anyone have any ideas, and any help with getting rid of them.:help:

I think you have a very serious problem. It sounds like a venomous serubillid worm, genus spaghetti, class mason, of the clan mcleod. They tend to strike unwitting polyps, and can frequently be seen w/ meatballs and garlic bread standing on street corners collecting money...you know you have one if they are wearing odd looking hats called a fezz (sp>)..the tassel will give it away.
Very serious in deed

Smart aleck... :D :rolleyes:
:D
