No help guess I have to put it in the tank but will get rid of the worm

What does your worm look like?

If your unsure you can FW dip it and then SW Dip it again with Iodine. That should kill just about anything on it. Just keep in mind if its a large piece of LR you will kill any other inhabitants.

Does anybody have a Pic of a spaghetti worm? Everybody tells me not to let a goniopora get out of water that air is harmful to them.I have injected the worm with FW and my Cleaner Shrimp has attacked it be some how it is still alive but does not come out far it was coming out about 5''.Now only put his spins out they look like a Feather Duster with out the feathers if you can understand that

It's not a spaghetti worm but still not sure what to do

sounds like a peanut worm harmless but maybe not in a goniopora

I have no ideal what to do the goniopora is doing good but don't want it to die. I spent to much money on stuff to make it's dinner with for a freebie

Has to be deep because when it comes out to feed it's longer than my Goniopora and it's bigger than a solfball

I have took so many pic but just can't get a good one of the worm and after the fight he does not come that far out anymore

try to feed the worm then pull it out (tweezers prob b best) bu tdont break it some worms can still live even after being cut in half
