I think corals are more agressive then the worm, at any rate that is why we use chemical filtration (carbon, and other absorbents)

I've seen ginormous spagetti worms on the internet...

It's like a loose spool of thread that's just in your tank for whatever reason, right?

Yes they do. THey kind of feel around and stick to debri on the sand and pull it in as other say. i grabbed one piece before and as soon as I did that they all pulled in but didnt stop this thing from coming back.

A worm this big wont hurt fish or inverts will it?

lol - Ginormous, love that word

And yeah - they're kosher. I started with a few, and freaked out (I actually pulled a few from the rock when I first saw them) but they've multipled and do great things to clear off the substrate. Heck, even cleaned up a dead hermit crab for me

As they multiply, they'll start looking more and more strange, you'll see big pockets of "thread" - but be assured, the stuff is GOOD!

Man so much stuff to be found AFTER setting up the tank.

I think I just have one but their is like 60 little arms coming out of the little whole in the rock!
