They are even in my skimmer. I cleaned my skimmer the other day and removed a lot. I have a 6 line in my DT but I have never seen him touch them. He can be a butt, like someone mentioned, but gets along most of the time. My big clown sets him straight when he acts up.
Awesome, want some more? We can just turn your system in to the arc hydroids therapy:shades:.
I wouldn't be surprised to find them in the skimmer , god knows there everywhere else ..
These were hitch hikers originally, and I did have some hydroids that I realize now disappeared about when these started showing up , I was unaware of the hydroid eating until recently.
My biggest problem is I can't clean the glass without knocking 50-100 off each panel and I read where they can't rite themselves without help from strong current I'm afraid of a mass die off if I knocked them all down so I've got quarter size and larger spots of coralin algae all over the acrylic. I'm ready to see my tank again
All my wrasses eat them but my large 6.5"Green Coris Wrasse (halichoeres chloropterus) that swallows them whole like I'm tossing in pellet food.
My smaller yellow coris wrasse and purple chisel tooth juvenile eat the small ones whole and eat the bigger ones out of the shell , the linespot flasher wrasse just pecks at them and spits the shells.
I'm thinking about investing in a good trap door acrylic fish trap to catch my big green guy , it would cost as much or less than another wrasse (I don't need another coris and don't really want a 6 line)
my next wrasse will be another flasher or a fairy wrasse r maybe a leopard but I'd like that wrasse to be in my DT not back room frag tank
