When I order my blue mushrooms the tube worms in the pictures came attached to them. The only issue that I have with them is the spiderweb like strings that they release when I feed my corals. Just trying to find out what they are and what my options are of getting rid of them. :fish2:

These guys are a pain. I had several in my tank and the webbing they filter feed with irritated one of my corals to alot of tissue recession.
As stated above, manual removal is the only option. I removed the rock and crushed the tube with pliers and pulled the tubes off the rock completely.
 
Thanks for the help! It took a while with a pair of needle noes pliers but I got them. My neon dotted back loved them. lol :ROFLMAO:
