My LFS pulled out 2 3' worms from their live rock cure tank 2 months ago... wish I would have seen those! It is a pretty big tank.

[fonzi]

these worms, can they harm humans, my gut tells me no but thought id better ask then just assume! how do i get the algea to stop spreading and the zoas to spread?

[fonzi]

Also 3 of my snails like to go to the upper left corner and sit half way out of the water is this a sign of inadequate water conditions?

[thincat]

First, these worms will only hurt for a short time. LOL just kidding. What kind of snails are they? How long have you had them? Three snails is not enough for a 14g either.

[iDream]

it might be a sign, or they may have just found a nice munching spot. and bristle worms can hurt you, people say once you seem them in your tank to wear gloves whenever moving LR around

[fonzi]

Hahaha!! the snails have been in the tank for a week, heres a pick are they feather dusters? Also i did my first water change on wed, i used tap water but i added water conditioner and api s stress zyme, i only took out 1.5 gallons, but now i have algea all over you can see it on the rock too!!

[fonzi]

looking like your getting some major algae, how long are your lights on and how often/what do you feed your fish?

[fonzi]

how do i lower algae growth

[iDream]

cut down on how long your daylight bulb is on, and cut down on feeding.

also you should add a few more snails and hermits. i have 6 turbo snails and 6 blue leg hermits and they keep my tank nice and clean.
