Thanks. It's dead now. Are they bad??

 

[asn-naso]

Some people say they can irritate your corals, but I've always seen them in the sandbed, and thought they were good cleaners.

They are super beneficial to a cuc. Weird to look at but good for a tank.

Yea I have quite a few in my cube and have been harvesting them out of there and adding them to the new build...haven't had any issues with them in the past.

I'd take some if you have a couple to spare. For some reason I have no spaghetti worms or anything in my tank.

Hmmm well oops I guess i will leave them alone.

Re: What is this???

I've been adding them intermittently and have yet to confirm that any of them survived the transfer. If I start seeing them thriving in the new build, then I'll certainly hook you up with some. I'll eventually be sifting through the sand in my old tank for microfauna when it comes time for the teardown, and should find plenty.
