Snail's shells empty and slim covered...?

sounds freaky! I will check for one next time it happens. Come to think of it they have always been on the sand when they meet their demise...
If I can't actually find the worm is there any other way to keep this from happening?

Nope! I ended up tossing a piece of rock to get rid of mine.

Took the rock out, tried soda water, hammer and chisel, never got it, so tossed the whole 10 pounds of rock. This did end the snail deaths tho, so it was somewhere in that rock.

hmmm, so you never saw this worm? Just wondered what it was like, how big, color, etc.

Ya, saw it once at night with a flashlight, very thin and red, about 16" long that I could see. It seemed to keep its' butt in the rock though, so not sure how long it really was.

Never heard of that before Brad! That's disgusting! Yuck, worms can be so gross.

But hey...Key Equine, I noticed your SG is 1.023 which is fine for a fish only tank, but if you plan on keeping a reef tank you should bump that up to 1.026.
