liquidg Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I found this ages ago and put it in the aquarium and thought it would be a xmas tree worm on a live coralline roller? This mongrel throws a net over the sps and kills some of the polyps and then sends out a single line to pull back dead tissue. It's very complicated as to how I found it in action, anyway its not happy now that I found it doing this twice by accident,that was after two sections of my sps went down to it, not that I realised it till it was to late for them.

liquidg Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I thought it would be harmless after realising it was not a xmas tree worm,but any highly massed polyp sps in its range died after a few weeks of exposure. It is partly the current and its position I think that made its impact on two of my purple sps far greater then it could have been, I assume? I found it does this a great deal at night and also when the pumps off while I clean my filter wool barrier, it did it twice in front of me as I am normally at the back when i do this so that's why this was the first time I saw it do it in all its glory. There is more to it but that's enough, the thing that I thought was a xmas tree is gone now. I wish I could have gotten a video if how the net was thrown over the sps then a single strand dragged back,it was amazingly accurate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
