Like already said in your other thread, definitely NOT an aefw.

I dont know.......I AM curious though...have you had any other corals die recently?? Do you think it ws related or just coincidental that he was in there???

Looks like a worm of SOME kind but i cant offer any help.......im guessing coincidence........or we would have heard SOMETHING....but you never know

Actually I have lost one HUGE stag colony, and am seeing some die off on some others, however, I recently took on about 60 colonies for a friend of mine while he builds his new tank, so I thought it was due to lack of flow. My colonies have not suffered in the least, which until I saw the worm, led me to believe that it was due to a possible combination of shock to the system, shock to the individual corals transported, and lack of flow to sustain as many huge colonies. I will be adding a couple of tunze this week, and will probably just ditch my closed loop all together, as it doesn't seem to be quite enough flow.

here are some great examples of what aefw's can do.......

if you take an affected coral out of the tank and put it in a dark container and then take a powerhead or turkey baster and blow some decent current on the affected frag they will come flying off and you can see them if in a dark container....the eggs are visible on the dead or dying parts of the coral.........

good luck with whatever it is you have going on
