The Puffer Forum

Sorry for the newbie question... I'm cycling a new tank (no puffers yet, but soon...). When I purchased my live rock, I noticed a nice piece of dead coral and the guy at the pet shop let me have it without charging. A week later, I noticed these worrms growing out of the coral.

Should I remove these? I'm trying to create an ideal environment for puffers.

Thanks.

Feather duster, it will help keep the water clean, leave it.

All kinds of things are gonna pop out from your LR. Check out what a local reefer found:

Hahaha: "Should I remove these? I'm trying to create an ideal environment for puffers." I can guarantee you, your puffers will remove things like this all on their own.

Yikes, hope I never see anything like that millipede.

I think I also saw a tiny anemone, but it's so small, it could very well be a worm also... and a small shrimp that crawled out and into another hole so quickly, I barely saw it.

Hope this is a good sign that the tank is cycling normally.

It's all good!

haha i had a small feather duster on a small piece of live rock my emerald crabs were attached to and the lady at the pet store couldnt get them off. so she gave me the whole piece. everytime the duster would pop out my GSP would go over to it and try to eat it. the first few times he tried the duster went back in the crevace real quick. but one day i didnt see the duster anymore. it was like a game of peek a boo
