live rock puffing stuff

sahmad43 · 03-13-2006, 11:28 AM

I have two different live rocks ..one of them puffs powdery white substance and one is puffing small minute white balls ... does anyone know whats going on? I dont have any fish or inverteberates since I am curing the rocks at the moment.
also I noticed in my friends tank there are very thin tanticles reaching out of a live rock on to the sand and pulling up things up the tanticles like a convyer belt ..
anyone knows what am I seeing ?

Thanks
Sami

Without any pics it is difficult to imagine what you are saying. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say something's decomposing or reproducing.

Hi Sammi, I have the same white tenticals coming out of one of my rocks. They gather up small particles of sand and build a tunnel with them ( I have 2 currently being built.) They seem to be just another version of a worm to me.

It's probably a "spaghetti" worm. I had a few... they can "belch" out a nice little cloud of stuff a couple of times a day.
