Looks like a lot of spaghetti worms. Did you buy a few to get started? If so, how many? How fast did they multiply?

I never bought any at all. This is just from taking the time to cure 130 pounds of tonga and fiji rock in the tank itself. I saw some yesterday where the actual body was 4 inches long. I see them releaseing a white mucoid matter amost daily and assume that they are gametes. I have them all over the rock and sand.

Cool stuff Mike! Now that you've got the sand moved over, how long do you anticipate before you can move the liverock, fish and corals?
