I was at the LFS today and seen something called a worm rock. It is a stony coral that covers the rock and has prob twenty to thirty
x-mas tree worms in it of every pos color. Only bad thing is it needs high light being stony but if i can in the days ahead have enough lighting its mine.

i have seen them before but as you said the coral need high light. but the worms will survive wit hout it. my lfs has one in there not for sale tank but the coral is dead.

I thought that the worms had some sort of simbiotic relationship with the coral. I assumed if one died, so would the other. At least that is what I was told.

i dont think so. i have seen them in sponges also.

I have one. It's one of my favorites... It's a porites so it doesn't need a ton of light and the worms are filter feeders. I don't know if they are symbiotic? My guess would be no...

hollywood you think i could keep one under 440 watts in a 75 gallon?

it depends on what coral their on and what kind of lighting. if there on a hardy coral i dont see why you couldent. the lighting dosent matter for the dusters just squirt some phyto their way once and a while.

Ya but i found a bunch of awsome ones at the LFS that are in that porites stuff and the guy said they need alot off light. I am getting icecap 660 with 440 watts of VHO.
