roidan had these too, i think...and he removed everything...cos it will take up a lot of calcium....

i have some in my tank too...especially the overflow...lotsa tiny ones....size of rice grains...can't imagine a few yrs later when they are fully grown...my overflow full of coco/tube worms...hopefully they will be nice red christmas trees....tube worms not too nice...gotta monitor them....

[hammy]

[xiggie]

are they really coco worm?

[Jun Hong]

I have plenty of them in my sump also. Their grow rate is very very slow. I think have to feed more plankton to accelerate their growth.

These can be found in the LIVE rock on the main tank also if you observe carefully.

Some will have soft tube type and some wil have hard tube.

It depends on what goodies does the LIVE rock housed.

My main tank, sump and skimmer outer casing is begining to have these hard tube worm. When you overturn a small LIVE rock u will see lots and lots of white hard tube.

Remember these fellow takes up a lot of Calcium.

hummm... hee guess i am not the only one with this surprise ... but still find it very cute ...

i am sure it is coco worm nows as i am not the only one with it ...

initially i thought it was pod or even snail ... but they are stationary and they behave just like coco tube worm hee hee

[surfedelic]

I have alot in my sump. One or 2 was quite big about 1 cm long ... I tried removing them and placed them in my main tank .. after 2 days it disappeared.....

If you want better survivibility - DON'T REMOVE THEM I believe it could grow quite fast if you feed planton everyday....That's what I did

[hammy]

shall does plankton more to encourage growth ... hee hee ..

[tigershark]

i have a lot of tiny tube on my LR... is hard but cant c any crown.... wonder it is coco worms.... cant wait to c the picture to confirm....

[Reefaholic]

I dont think is coco worms, should be peanuts worms.
