I have a rock full of them in my tank, should I put a coral on the rock, I read they eat the coral slime. Any help would be appreciated.
Christmas Tree worms...
- Thread starter chrisalmand
- Start date
Some information about my Christmas tree rocks and links, I found, is here .
Porites will need light, worms - microfood, like golden pearls, cyclop-eeze (for bigger worms), ZoPlan, frozen rotifers, baby brine, cyclops - anything available. At least 2-3 times daily feedings (I may be wrong, but won't risk). Filtration or skimming should be capable to keep water more or less normal.
Location - I'm trying to keep mine as close to the light, as possible, and away from bristle worms. On rocks.
Post a photo, OK?
Like these creatures.

Ive never had any problem keeping them alive by simply keeping the porites rock alive and thriving like you would any sps. Never direct fed anything and I keep low nutrient sps tanks and feed nothing but the fish. Worms multiply just fine
I will aslo add that I have some christmas tree worms living outr of acros and sides of my clams as well.......so agree with them needing the porites slime as a myth

flyyyguy: Can you post a little more information?
Tank and Christmas tree rock photos, in short setup, tank feeding, filtration, when you started to keep it, when worms started to reproduce, old and new worms photos.
Especially water - is it artificial salt mix or oceanic water, salinity, temperature, alkalinity, location of the worms relatively to the flow.
Is skimming and filtration off for a some time during the day, by any chance? You see, I have the sun coral spawning, but not the Spirobranchus worms...
I'm no way demanding proof (really hate this), but making this information available to all of us, you will help many other, so far less successful keepers.
Will really appreciate this.
BTW, I bought green pavona with few Spirobranchus worms, and one - on the hairy mushroom rock.
