Orange tube worm??

rjs5134 · 01-16-2007, 07:16 PM

I'm sure someone can properly identify this for me. Seacrop sells it as an orange tube worm. I think they look beautiful, but have no idea how difficult it is, what conditions it favors, how large it gets, what it eats, and most importantly how aggressive it is.

Thanks

That's a very interesting picture of an "orange tube worm." I wonder why Mary calls it a "tube worm?" It looks like a Cerianthus sp. tube anemone to me but I'll ask greenbean to ID it.

I agree. It does look like a tube anemone. I know almost nothing about their captive care though.

Drs. Foster & Smith sells them and offers some advice on their care.
