Solo77 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Have something similar, got to see to confirm, seems harmless but they wil Multiple fast. Time to get butterfly, I suspected that was the food source for my copperband. Not much left now and my copperband started feeding on mysis.

victorcool Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 happyguy, thanks bro. btw i dont have any rocks at all.It just blow my mind where in the world did they come from? I am thinking of using blended garlic juice or concentrated lemon juice to kill them. last resort, use chlorine. got to take out the entire system then kill them. kill them...kill them...kill them...it just gives me the goose bumps right now...yeeesh! solo, will the worms be digested by fishes in the stomach? I did think about turning the whole system around and let my tangs feed on it...heeheehee Quote truth remains..."Thirsty in an Ocean" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo77 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Bro, my copperband with me for at least 2 mths. Their digestive juice should be very acidic.

Solo77 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 If wat u are getting is the same as mine, then they should be like critters. Think u feeding well for yr fishes and allow them to multiply. Get some wrasses and maybe butterfly. Maybe add in some hermits may have(if they can't, keep them as they are rather cute and keep snails under control).
