Everything is fine! Sleep peacefully! These little whiskers attract all sorts of tasty treats in the form of food scraps, fish detritus... I can't tell you the name of the little worm...

I just tried to take a macro photo, but it didn't work out. I'll try to shoot a video instead.

Robert1845

Thank you very much, we were really worried about such beauty. So the soft corals nearby are not in any danger?

Melanie

Doesn't it look like that? The photos aren't mine.

Tara2761

No, no, not these worms at all. There, it's like a web made of stone, green.

Bethany

Off-topic, I'm preparing a video.

Joseph9203

Please watch the video. In the video, in the center between the white fan worms, it is growing very quickly. Yesterday it was hardly noticeable, and today it is already almost half the stone. Will this wonder cover all the stones? Is this what you wrote about?

Cheyenne2747

I watched the video and saw a lot of threads, yes, I'm talking about them... I just didn't understand what grows quickly and has almost covered half a rock? These threads usually hide... they come out of the tubes, sometimes they suppress SPS corals, I used to cover them with epoxy...

Amy1672

I noticed that they reproduce very quickly; there are also small threads on the stone that are not very visible in the video. However, I didn't notice such a large number yesterday. The tubes seem to be deep in the rocks; they are not visible to the naked eye and look like threads coming out directly from the crevice of the stone. Thank you very much for your attention! If you happen to remember the name of this creature, please let me know; I would be very grateful!

Well, since it's so quick... it looks like this one: Here is drawing 48:

Thank you once again! Yes, apparently this is the whiskered cirratulus. I will read up on how to get rid of it; it scares me, what if it comes out of the aquarium at night? Or should I cover it up like you did?

Anthony4281

Read the last link, there people are ready to buy them for money, especially when they get stuck in the sand... and you go straight to the wall!

Chad231

I just started reading. It looks so creepy it gives me goosebumps, brrr, I'm scared to sleep. I just discovered this wonder on another small stone in the sand.

Rita

Off-topic. Here I am... after your links, I denied myself tea time!

Curtis9143

Off-topic Sorry to interrupt your tea time I will compensate with chocolate I read the forum at the link you provided, everything is correct, they are useful, people buy them, but they multiply very quickly, one forum member even pulls out these worms to see a bit of sand in the aquarium, it's a disaster I can imagine myself with tweezers in trembling hands and with that little worm

Sara

Off-topic So, are you coming to us... or are we coming to you?

Danny

Off-topic, it's up to you how you prefer.

The spaghetti worm usually lives in the sand and hides its web; if disturbed, it is part of its body. What is shown in the video resembles a vermetid more. These mollusks have a net that functions similarly to a real web, so no one hides it, and the animal does not react when it is damaged.
