Hi, I have this what looks like small tube worm looking , all brown in color, lots of them in my sump tank, about 2 to 3" long waving their tentacles in the water, attached to LRs. Anybody knows what are these? Thanks

Get joe juice to rid them off

[bluezing]

i read from websites..can inject it at the base with lemon juice

[kominato]

oh my goodness!!!

[KennethK]

Better to use joe juice, lemon juice not much effect. Moreover if try to inject they will shrink.

[bluezing]

thats why inject at the base...before they shrink...haha..

but i thought joe juice also must inject? hmmm

[kareen]

from the pic, looks like it is not stinking anything.... I will leave them alone and place them at a corner. Sometimes because you want to get rid of them and they produce more due to little of residual tissue left on rock which will eventually become a new one. If really doing some harm, get the predator then.

Add copperband butterflyfish to remove them.Don't put copperband in main tank if you have zoanthids,star polyps,soft corals and corallimorphians.They eat those.

thanks for all the advice...

[reeftask]

have got rid of them? advise you to do it fast as they are very fast spreads. Later too big, copperband also scares.

[kominato]

well, have not removed all of them yet. tried various methods. Remove the rock and scrub, tedious. Inject concentrated bitter lime juic, seems to work but hav 2 wait n c if they grow back. Those clinging out of my chaeto i just pluck off a portion n throw it away. Introduced 2 50c size copper band, not too sure if athhting is happening down there....

Mix some Kalk paste and apply it to the Aiptasia or grab the whole rock (if it's the one that's infested) and nuke 'em in your microwave!!!

HTH,

Paul
