    Got some new frags today. When i dipped them a couple of these guys fell off and not sure if there is anything in the last one or not. 20140919_203709.jpg 20140919_203719.jpg 20140919_203802.jpg

    They look like bristle worms, the harmless detritivore type. Unfortunately, coral dips kill all hitch hikers, both good and bad.

    I am sure I have some in my tank to replace the ones I killed today. Just wanted to see what they were. I've never seen them before so I wanted to make sure that was what they were. Thanks for the responses

    Dipping is good. I don't trust any worm
