First of all, thank you about your site. I am learning many of data about reef aquariums in your site.
when I was build up my nano, I add live rock. The live rock has contained a living thing like worm. The color is black and white as a lines. All arms are coming from the same point, and from the inside of live rock. In my opinion, they are the arms of one living thing. However I couldn't identify it. I dont know even it is usefool or harmfool. If there anybody who know about this living thing, I am waiting your help. Thank you.

The wrong forum to ask your question.

The macro algae? Or the spaghetti worm?

The worm is useful, a good worm. Cirratulid worm. There is a bad worm, [Eunicid] which has 5 very, very short arms, and it has legs: it comes out of the rock and crawls around. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L78Nj6FVqoc
A Cirratulid lives in rock, has smooth sides, and many arms. http://archive.reefcentral.com/forum...d.php?t=439225
