I wouldn't do it unless you can find out more about it

 

[katsafados]

okay

You have this confused with Hypersalinity water, higher Sg. Mix up a batch of saltwater at 1.031 or higher saltwater and place the rock in it. It is best if you can suspend the rock a little, on an inverted plastic cup or something, so when the critter exit they fall to the bottom of the container. Then you can take the rock out and see whet is left.

Cant find those ones, It was a different one. For all critters or something like that.
The woirm hasnt fallen out of the rock yet am I supposed to leave the rock i nthere for a while? or take it out?

 

[spanko]

You are doing the hypersalinity? What is the Sg and how did you measure it? The worm may not be in that rock, may be some other place now.

 

[katsafados]

sg is 1.034 a little high but I'm out of water. I used a refractometer.

 

[katsafados]

should I dip another rock or forget about it?

 

[spanko]

Yup should work then, has anything come out of the rock?

 

[katsafados]

Just sand lol... not even the pods that were living in it fell out

I guess the worm has relocated

 

[katsafados]

should I go to the store and buy a trap? The one meowzer posted is $20
