Aquarium Advice Regular
I started my tank about a month ago, I added live rock and have come across a few hitch hikers that I have sought the groups help in identifying. I have a number of worms that are all the same, but I can't figure out what type they are. My fear is that they are fire worms. I posted a pic in another thread I started. Now I saw something on my tank that I think are hydroids. I've attached a pic that I found on the net. It's my understanding that they are bad for my tank and can sting. Am I misinformed? I also have a brittle starfish as well. I certainly didn't get a tank so that I could be stung by hitch hikers that I never wanted. My question is, can I get rid of my live rock and get rid of the hitch hikers? Or, is there a good possibility that they are in my sand substrate now as well. If that is the case, is there anything I can do apart from start over? Thanks for the help. I love my tank, but I'm getting some stuff I didn't want, and didn't realize I was opening myself up too. Thanks!
