worm in table top acro

[gerry]

hi guys and gals, I just picked up an acro that to my amazement has a worm living inside one of the branches. I was going to leave it. Is it a problem? thanks for your opinions.

Gerry,
Could you be more specific? Would it perhaps be a barnacle, Vermitillid snail? These are all common in stony corals.

yep, i think its a fan worm, looks like the little brother of the coco worm I have, except its black and white, instead of red.

ii knew it... those are good !
they feed on particles they find floating around.

:ummm: ...uuummmmm???? If it looks like a small Coco worm, you sure it's not a Xmas tree worm rather than a fanworm ( sorry Liv ).
