About 3 months ago I bought a medusa "worm" (cucumber). It is from the carribean, and it seems to be eating the diatoms, or detritus, or a different algae, so I am thinking it may be Synaptula hydriformis. I based this flimsy ID on diet, location (carribean), and that the big medusa worm is probably carrying the babies internally, which is why they are surviving so easily. I can't be postive at all on the ID though, since it is usually impossible to ID, without cutting it up .
Well, it has grown MUCH larger, and a few weeks ago I was looking around the tank, and noticed that there were 20(+) smaller medusa worms.
Recently I have had another wave of small medusa cucumbers. The other generation has gotten much larger, and it seems all of them survived. :cheer:
The thing that worries me the most is that I may not be able to reproduce this phenomenon again.
So I wanna hear y'alls opinions on this.
