Yes Deep it was the correct species. Also known as spagetti worm. The only question now is what eats it! Or how do I get rid of it?

Yeah Deep I've read that article. No mention of how to get rid of them. I want them out because there terrorizing my zoa's. Constantly pulling there tentacles over the zoa's .So the zoo closes and eventually die's in that area. Now I originally thought they where some other worm so I bought a six line to solve the situation but He did nothing. The worms aren't just hangin out in the sand bed. There stayin in holes in the live rock and I can't get them to come out. There probably about 100 that I can see. Definitly an epidemic.. The one's I do find in the sand I suck them up and get rid of them but its not affecting the popullation in the tank. These worms are only in my grow out 120gallon tank. My live rock tank doesn't have them or my other tank for that matter. I think they got in here from some coral I brought home because all the live rock in the tank is from my other tanks....

You like that picture though huh deep. Don't have macro on my camera but I have a lense from a ruler that measures thousandths. So I focus that lense and hold the camera up to it and point and shot. I'm finally startin to get this picture takin shiat. But will never be as good as you and pony...Or twin

Shove some epoxy in the hole so it can't get out.

I would try and get any fish you have in that tank out ASAP

If it is even the same parasite... from what Psycho said above plug their homes with something. One guy said suck them out with a straw somehow.

The worms shown are perfectly harmless and do nothing but collect detritus and other left over food particles. They are valuable members of your clean up crew.

If you saw the colonies of zoa's that are being affected by these worms you would want them gone also. If they where just in the sand bed I wouldn't have a problem but when im loosing zoa's because of the worms placement then they gotta go. I now there good for my eco, but there a nusince in my opinion.........I have already tried to suck them out of the rock work near the zoa's but they don't come out. So i guess i'm just gonna superglue them... I no it will work .But I was looking for some other animal that feeds on them. So my eco was more of a natural selection enviroment. Is there anyone or anything that eats them ...ANYONE NOW

I agree with chuck , as i have tons of them in my tank they do no harm , 5 yrs and going with them in the tank. ,

like the dawn of the dead. wormy hands coming out from everywhere. but they dont bother anythng in the tank at all. Since these worms are bottom feeders (crap) i would try to use a baster and baster your zoa colony , maybe there is build of detritus that they are hunting for. cant hurt and worth a try.
