How to get rid of a fan worm in euphyllia? A fan worm the size of half a head is sticking out near the mouth. The head is barely open, and the worm constantly grabs the euphyllia's tentacles, trying to pull them into its mouth. I thought about sealing it, but I'm concerned that the worm will start to rot inside the euphyllia's body. What can be done about it?

Why do anything with the fanwort? It definitely won't harm the euphyllia. If the mere presence bothers you, get a helmon. In general, you should be more concerned about the worm—over time, the euphyllia will "suppress" it.

At the moment, we have an empty protruding shell from which one of the heads is trying to survive just a few millimeters away. It's not a pleasant sight. In general, I think it's necessary to warn about things like parasites.

Can I have a photo of this event! My fan lives right in the body of the favites, it not only blooms and smells, but has grown more than twice!

The fan worm is not a parasite (if we are talking about it). In general, there is a constant struggle for survival in the sea, where one organism grinds, drills, burns, eats, etc. another, and when a balance is achieved among them, the time for a beautiful stable reef arrives.

Dissipate doubts. In the photos, is this part of euphyllia or is it some kind of worm, parasite?

This is not a parasite; on the skeleton of Euphie, two fan worms live, the favorite food of Helmans.

Does anyone have an aquarium with Black Sea or Adriatic marine life?

I have the exact same one living in Euphilia. Hellman lived for two weeks, ate all the worms, but didn't touch this one. Even when he was dying from lack of food. I think either it’s not part of the diet or he was afraid of Euphilia itself. I've been thinking for a long time about who this is and whether something should be done about it. The tentacles around this resident of Euphilia do not fully unfold.

People, what do you suggest I do with it? The worm, although not a parasite, is clearly hindering the Euphyllia from opening up. And in 3 months, it has noticeably grown. The head looks wrinkled!
