Well I just bought a red LED flashlight yesterday and last night decieded to try it out on the tank.I was looking for the source of a clicking that I think is a shrimp but have never seen. I was suprized by a few worms coming out of just one peice of rock like an elephant trunk and eatting stuff off other rocks near buy. They extend out by un rolling from the inside out I only saw about 6 of them and only coming out of 1 rock. Any I deas?

Well I looked on google and found that Its most likely a peanut worm. There are different kinds I guess. But I can't find much info on what they eat and if they will spread? I know that right now they only live in one of my rocks. Well If anyone has more info I'd be glad to hear it. THanks to all ..

Bummer I was hoping you would come up with something new and spectacular.
Peanut worms are just a harmess part of a reef, they are sediment or detritus feeders. Hmmm did I say harmless? They do tend to bore holes in live rock. :yes:
Sorry don't know anything about their breeding habits, but I hear white thongs are in season, aye waterfaller?
