Something interesting and surprising happened in my reef this past week. I was spot feeding my trachy, mysis shrimp, using a turkey baster and accidentally fed it a half inch bristle worm. No idea how the bristle worm got into the baster except that before the feeding I had been using it to blow off my rocks. Must have sucked it up then. Anyways the trachy swallowed up the worm in a relatively quick fashion. I watched the coral closely for some time to see if the worm would crawl back out but it was gone. A week later and no ill effects. Trachy is fat and happy. This may not be necessarily noteworthy to the long time reefers but I was surprised by it. I expected the trachy to reject the worm and thought to worm would just crawl out. Must explain why I never see any hermit on the trachy.
