Default Lesson learned - don't feed chaeto to your tangs
I thought I would be nice and feed live chaeto to my tangs. Well learn from my mistake - live chaeto becomes dead chaeto after going through the digestive system but they retain their stringy spagetti-like shapes. So now there are whitish strings of chaeto poop floating everywhere in my tank.

Thanks

Having two young kids pointing to your tank & going "Dad, your tank is full of worms, ewwwww!"

I have a wad of chaeto hanging from a contraption off the rim of my display since I don't have a sump. My Yellow Tang doesn't touch the stuff.
