I know pictures are suggested, but I don't think I can capture these tiny little white hair-like things on camera.
I am new to the saltwater aquariam world, and my 30 gallon hex tank has been set up for one month. It is in cycling mode w/ 5 blue damsels, an emerald crab, and 3 little red-legged hermit type crabs. The tank has live rock and live sand.
The white thread-like organisms seem to be more present at feeding time, and come out of the rock then retreat back in. There are approximately 5 of these white organisms, and they seem to feel around the rock, but don't exit the rock. My son said he thought he saw one feeling the emerald crab once??
Sorry no pictures
Any thoughts?? I beginning to get worried that it is some sort of worm or parasite that is not supposed to be there. I brought the rock straight home from the aquariam store and put it in the tank. I didn't know I should put the rock in a coralRx solution that I read about on-line tonight.
Any help is appreciated.
