    Okay, thanks for all the great info. I did read online about the toxins released when they die and that really freaked me out. I should have got him out while I saw him - but I went to bed instead!! Hopefully I will see him again today and can get him.

    Matt: The flow is fairly strong where I saw the worm. It was on my eagle eye zoas and they are in the middle of the tank, but have a Koralia 4 pointed pretty much right at them.

    Oh also, why are they considered bad? I know they can reach huge numbers, but is there something else?

    When they Die they Release Toxins,
    Some eat Acropora Tissue
    Some Smother out softies and kill then eventually
