Lindsay, what zoa's are those?

 

[jacquesb]

Not sure of the scientific name (could be Sunburst - trebilled worm) - BUT, I know it as either a spaghetti worm, or a medussa worm....

 

[Mike]

Yep, spagghetti/medusa worm, good guys to have but they can irritate some corals, i would still keep it though.

 

[shan]

i have those as well, seem to eat left over food in my tank

 

[jacquesb]

Yes - Shan. Spaghetti worms are part of the cleanup crew. They do AWESOME work of cleaning up the area around them. Funny to see them on a rock. I usually see them in the sand....

 

[shan]

i got some on the sand and some on the rocks. i even got a worm that is like an earthworm and is as thick as my index finger - only saw him once at night when he was moving from one rock to the other

 

[jacquesb]

Shan - the work that looks like an earthworm is called a "Peanut worm"...
