i have been seeing a lot of strange white strands floating around my tank. i have seen a forum with the same things. i cannot seem to find it. it looks like little strands or thread with alot of little balls at the end and part of its stalk, any guesses?

Uuuu, could you possibly post a slightly larger one?

Perhaps use a photo hosting web site like photobucket, it's free.

slysock · 02-06-2008, 04:08 AM

well is that something i should be concerned about? theres probalby over 100 in my tank, all over the place, and they are attaching themselves to things. will this be bad for the corals?

spagetti worm?

Reefreak · 02-06-2008, 04:41 AM

Type of spaghetti worm. A good filter feeder and harmless to a reef. Just adds another level of interest. Enjoy!
