![]() I see nobody remarked about your worm. If it's Red, you may want to get rid of it when you can as it may be a nasty Fire Worm
![]() But it could also be harmless. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/5/short TheAmphinomidae- Amphinoids are also known as "fireworms" and have calcareous setae filled with poisonous secretions. When irritated, they erect their sharp setae which break off at a touch releasing their poisonous contents into the wound. Most species are found on corals, rocks and other hard substrata covered with attached organisms. They swim well and can be brilliantly colored. All but one species can be considered harmless and are great scavengers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Species shown below : Hermodice carunculata - This is the one species of fireworm that you do not want in your aquarium as it is a known predator of corals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The below pictured specimen is a Pherecardia striata, also a member of the fireworms and is a scavenger. ![]() ![]() ![]() Genus Pareurythoe , which has very small caruncles. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eurythoe complanata - Probably the most commonly found worm and is a harmless scavenger, a benefit to our systems. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by gregzz4; 04-18-2012 at 04:07 AM. |

![]() it was tiny the size of my thumb nail it floated off into the sump when I moved the rock.
I bought a peppermint shrimp last night and found him this morning exploring the rock that I was having troubles with. Good shrimpy! you get a promotion. I just really like the crabs and shrimp and all the life that this little tank is supporting! their are little bity STASRFISHES! (shut up it's exciting to me) I can't wait to add fishes again I'd like a ebil angel and a pair of mocha clowns I think. we are looking at a house in the next few months as well so they may be a housewarming present to me lol. My tank is looking awesome! thanks again for all your guys help!!! |

![]() I wanted a skunk cleaner soooo bad.
but they're kind of more than I want to spend you know? I don't know if he's worth 10.00 more than any of my other shrimps. I'd LOVE another sexy but I'm not paying 20.00 for something the size of my thumb nail (although I'm glad I got to adopt the one I have) No more snails though those things are tanks; always making my coral fall over.... although their algae eating skills do NOT disappoint. |

![]() Well the pistol ate my peppermint (confirmed) and my sexy is MIA after a series of loud pop pop pop noises coming from my tank he's also managed to cause a near rockslide and bury a ton of coral so I put him up for trade. the bugger is too destructive for my small tank...if anyone wants him in exchange for a skunk cleaner or a pair of sexys maybe? let me know.
