My tank

Your tank is beautiful!! And yes, you do have bristleworms which are very beneficial polychaetes, they will eat detritus and left over food. Just don't touch their "whiskers" and you will be fine. I agree with the spaghetti worm ID, they are also beneficial. One other thing I will add, is that it looks like your goniopora has succummed to brown jelly disease. I would probably get rid of him as this can spread to your other healthier corals. Very nice video, I really enjoyed watching it

 

Thank you! Where can I find one of those? I will do that asap

 

See if you can find a friend to borrow one from.

You can get a cheap ones in automotive or hardware departments in Walmart, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, Etc... To buy one, even a cheap one will be $20.

If you cannot find one to borrow, then you might as well just buy the ground probe. They are only $12. Most LFS (Live Fish Supplier) should have them.

 

How do you know it has brown jelly disease? What are the symptoms? Do I just take him out and throw him away in the trash? Poor thing I've heard they are a bit difficult to keep. I probably shouldnt have gotten it

 

It doesn't look like it has brown jelly on it...

 

The video might be misleading, but is there a brown "film" on the tissue at all? It just appears that way in the video. Goniopora's are tough to keep, even for some expert hobbyists. Each polyp needs to be spot fed, and they are usually found in lagoons with nutrient rich water.

 

also that blue hippo tang will outgrow that tank get rid of it now before you becoe attached to it

 

On the cleaner shrimp/other shrimp note, Do you test your waters calcium, Calcium is a big part of a shrimps survival, They used the calcium in the tank to grew new shells and it helps them when they molt.. I kept loosing cleaners in the past but figured out my Calcium was low, raised it up and maintained it and Have yet to have an issue with my current 3 cleaner shrimp.

 

Iodine is also crucial for their exoskeletons. But don't run out and grab a bottle, it is very easy to overdose. Regular water changes should be able to replenish iodine levels to the normal range. I would never recommend dosing iodine to anyone, water changes are the way to go to replenish it back into the system.

 

I thought those shrimp were not very safe? I have a reef tank with corals, crabs, and snails. I've heard they can eat those things? Is a 6 line wrasse reef safe? Ive heard those can pick at your corals as well?
