Sorry for the blurry picture.
I really need some help id'ing these little boogers.
They look like little strings but get together with a mother worm and then float in the current to another live rock.I've seen them multiple and just the other day when vacuuming the sand bed I must have woke them up.never caused a problem until I noticed them pulling my zoa polyps apart and completely distroyed a frag.

They are a funky yellowish brown and they look like construction workers when they find something to break down,like a dead fish.


I called them reefbuilders because I would see them working ,seems like they were good for awhile but they messed with a frag and it pissed me off. They tore up my $5 frag and some polyps of my $30 frag from TnT. I ended up picking up the lose zoas and gluing them to some live rock.

YES! Those are them ! Good thing I only have a few zoa's in that mixed reef tank.
I might remove and dip all my zoas then add them to my softy Bio Cube set up now.

It's really funny seeing these guys float around ,then a fish wants to eat it only to get spit back out. My yellow wrassle and black clown always get suckered into taking a bite.
