The cuc have been on him since I got him, on and off. Actually they seem to be leaving him alone at the moment, which I am pleased about because the lfs never said anything about aiptasia or cuc harming him. The aiptasia came with the live rock, I was new to marines (still am really but completely new to it) and asked if it would be okay to have just one and the lfs said some people hate them and others like them. It is really big, I like the look of it so he bagged it in water on the rock. The only time it has ever moved is when I first put it in the tank so I don't know why it is moving now. It doesn't seem to be reproducing all that quick and the few babies move quite a lot so sometimes I remove them. I know you are going to tell me this makes them reproduce faster but it doesn't seem to have done...yet lol! If the population takes off I will try a peppermint shrimp or other method. The way it is overextending is as you said, with 1cm of worm visible, roughly. Usually I can't see the worm at all and its crown has never been curly before. It's funny, I thought it was the aiptasia but could it be the cuc? I'm thinking they would more likely damage the tube if anything but I guess the cleaner could have irritated the crown if he kept hassling him!! You're going with the aiptasia as the culprit then? Shall I try to feed him and see if that helps? What about the water change I had planned? Been trying to feed my clown goby up a little so I'm worried there will be some detritus to vac this week. Thanks for your help AMD.
