Last night as I turned on the refugium sump lights I noticed three newbies. I have a number of differant pods, spaggetti worms and of course fire worms. However last night I could see these 3 very slow moving worms. They look just like a white maggot with a black head. they seemed to move very slow until they bumped into each other then the Larger spun his/her/it's head end around very quickly. I also noticed the 2" fire worm seemed to be intentionally moving out of the maggots way as if afraid of it. Any ideas?
I'm sorry I don't have a pic, All my camera money is going to the tank right now. However I can say this. They look exactly like you took a maggot from the garbage and just dabbed on a black head with a sharpie. When it may or may not have been chasing the fire worm it elongated to about 3/4" and became a little clearer and you could see slightly darker guts running the lenth of its body. Hope this helps.
