FishBrain Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I have looked and cant find. what is Orange with black spots, has many tenticles that stick out of the sand??, the two that are against the glass look like they are seeds growing, one went up the glass and was about 3" long then went back down in a straight line right into the spot it came and now is under the sand and its tenticles are sticking out.? When it was up the glass it seemed to have a mouth. I am now assuming they are not good as I can count six in the tank. and to me that might be the show of an infestation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTR Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Try a search for spaghetti or medusa worms (Eupolymnia crassicornis or Loimia medusa). Best I can do without any pics to reference to. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTR Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Looks like a spaghetti worms (Eupolymnia crassicornis). Harmless and benificial to the sandbed, good scavengers. Try a search on them and see, have a couple in my reef - never caused any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
