Have a BioCube 14 which has been running 7 weeks. I have had a Yellow Feather Duster in it for the last 3 weeks but noticed it had slipped down amongst the
LR and wasn't getting much flow. Plan was to move it during todays water change.
Unfortunately on inspecting the tank, said Yellow Feather Duster's case (??) seemed empty & I found a green caterpillar creature which I assumed was the occupany curled up at the back of the tank in some 'dead' water. It was alive though & I moved it to an area closer to some flow and the origninal home.
A trip to the local reef store though and the lad there told me that it was best to remove them as they're survival rates were minimal once outside the case and being a Nano-reef, the filter load if it died would be a bad thing.
Could do with some opinions on whether to tear everything down to locate the worm (which has now subsequently disappeared) or hang tight expecting it to make a reappearance in a new location in good health. I hadn't specifically fed for the Feather Duster as the shop had told me there would be plenty in the tank for it to filter but a different assistant today had another opinion...
Water tested fine for
Salinity, temp,
PH,
Nitrate,
Ca, Alkalinity &
Ammonia.
Clean up Crew comprises 5 blue legged Hermits, Sexy Anenoma Shrimp, Skunk Cleaner and I added 3 snails this afternoon.
Am new to this so any thoughts or more experienced opinions greatfully received.
Thanks.
