 Should I clean this stuff off my rocks? I am moving my 29 Biocube into a 55 gal and want to make sure I am not importing any unwanted stowaways. Are these things bad? What are they? The stuff in the top pic has not changed in a long time. Looks like some kind of tubeworm. It is hard to see but there is a filmy fan at the end of each stalk. The things in the bottom pic secrete some stringy stuff when I agitate the tank at all by putting my hand in it or doing a water change. They are scattered about the rocks.   Thanks for your help.  |

| Re: Should I clean this stuff off my rocks? Probably just tubeworms...I wouldn't worry about it
