Hi,

I have a spaghetti worm in my tank that has moved to the base of a feather duster (who is in the sand)
I have noticed the spaghetti worm wrapping around the duster and the duster now seems to open and close more frequently.
Does anyone have any advice...?
Is this a problem or should I just let them be.
I will try including a picture later today

Thanks
Ryan

you should be fine, the worm is probably just looking for some food, and will move on fairly quick.

if its just one, and if it bothers you id just remove it. it comes off fairly easy. the duster will come in and out of his tube as he gathers food. once he has his "duster" full he will go in and eat, later emerging for another round!

Thanks for the replies.
I think i'll keep it in the tank if it does not pose a danger to my other inverts.
I just wanted to make sure it will not sting or kill the duster ...

I think I would move the spaghetti. He's gonna bug the heck out of that featherduster and it may or may not become acclimatized. Dusters have a hard enough time in our tanks as it is. If he's reacting then he's stressing.

Nice looking tank. I really like your feather duster.

Thanks,
The tank is small, but is sure packed ...
I need to find a home for some the xania in the front ...

I'm looking to upgrade to a 46 gallon bow front ... I'm in a small town home and don't have the room to go bigger than that ...

I'm just trying to decide on sump or refugium or both and also to have the tank drilled or to go with a hang on overflow...

So many decisions to make

Ryan,

Very nice tank. I would go with a sump/fuge for your new tank. I like having all the mess in the sump and I like having the benefits of a fuge. The extra volume is always good and the extra motion of the water is good too. I have only had a RR tank so I can't comment about drilled vs overflow box.

Most definately have the tank drilled if that is an option. I have one remainign tank with an overflowe box and thankfully that will be taken down shortly. They are just a pain to deal with
