[Ozzy]

Hello RC
I was just moving some rock around in my tank going after bubble algae,have lots of it .....
anyhow ,the water started to get all cloudy ????
I have what looks like orange bristle worms pumping out cloudy crap in my tank ??
WHAT IS THIS,and will it harm my corals and fish ???

[kebo]

r u sure that it is bristle worms? I have a tank that is now a month old w/ 200 lbs of live rock in it and I also witness these spurts of white crap every so often. I thought that I had caught all of the bristle worms but maybe you are right, anyway I too am wondering what this stuff is and if it's harmfull.

[Ozzy]

ya it's from the worms,I can watch them spew it out....

Hear any clicking sounds? It could be a mantis shrimp.

It sounds like thats exactly what they're pumping out. Shouldn't hurt anything IMO

[Ozzy]

No it's not a shrimp,it's orange worms,have got to be a type of bristle...

Orgy LMAO! :lol: That's too funny, but in all seriousness maybe its some kind of mass spawning event?

[Ozzy]

no it's not a spawning,I would be more out to say that I up-set them by moving the rock around,I think it is the bristles wanting to defend ....

[RicksReefs]

it could be a mass spawning (maybe), alot of animals
will attempt to save the species during crisis.
(moving rocks = seaquake?????)







or it might be a load of crap. :D
