Green Worm ID?

[lotuskid]

but do they swim in loops or circles?

Bit of both & bit of neither lol. The hole they're in goes kinda round a corner. They swim out to almost the opening of the hole then turn around and swim back very fast. Size i'd guess at about 3mm or so. 100% nothing like any of the pods i've seen in the tank so far.

id bet on live mysis shrimp..thats exactly what mine do.
they look almost like fry because they are so small have a rounded look to their head unless u get a close look. also move fast in and out of things have a reddish or clear orange tint as well.

 

[lotuskid]

Could be. I'll keep watching and let you know, if ever i get a decent look at any of them.

suck em up with a pipepet like i did for my microscope pics in the reef forum

That green color looks nice!

Just wondering if you figured out what those "fish" were yet?

 

[lotuskid]

Nope, not yet. Not much chance of getting one out without moving half the tank. If they do turn out to be shrimp then at least it'll keep the clowns happy.

Something i did just spot while having a look is a new worm. Looked like a bristleworm only it was pale green with a couple of antenna.
Not seen the nice green peanut worm since, shame because as far as worms go it was quite nice looking lol.

Managed to get a pic of what looks like a green bristle worm.
Do they come in pale green or is it something else?

 

[Germanman]
