It's a creature that casts a web into the water column to trap food as it blows by. Webs appear quickly as soon as the worm smells food in the water. To eat the trapped bits of food, the worm reels in the webbing and consumes those morsels. The web may irritate nearby corals, or you the hobbyist. You can break off the calcified tube and cover the spot with super glue gel to eliminate this pest. If you leave it be, you may end up with more of them in the tank.  Here's the page in the ID section on this site: </p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="/creature?id=NzmFBBrAXE0aFlzlL7Y1">Vermetid Worm</a></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="vermetid" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d47172e9-059a-4c1b-b23f-a9182cc2125c" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/vermetid-web-2_0.jpg" width="765" height="508" loading="lazy" /></p> </div> <section> <div class="mb-60 mb-xs-30"> <div class="media-list text comment-list"> </div> </div> </section> <div class="field field--name-field-website-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-visually_hidden"> <div class="field__label visually-hidden">Website Area:</div> <div class="field__item">Reef Blog</div> </div> Sun, 05 Oct 2014 03:48:00 +0000 melev 817 at https://melevsreef.com
