eunicid worm?

[Just Jim]

I've got a large colony that looks like it's been munched on lately. I've noticed some "feather duster like" tubes growing inside the colonies with a sweeper tentacle coming out of it. It's too small for my camera to get a clear pic of. Anyone know what this might be and how to rid my colony of it? Lugols?

Here's a before and after pic. Ths favia's sweepers don't reach the zoos....

They're spionid worms alright. Thanks for that link, it's been a long time since I've had to worry about pests. None of my fish have been picking at the colony, so I'm going to do a dip and see if anything comes out....

Just Jim let us know what you do to get rid of them. I seem to have the same problem but cant get any info on how to fix the issue.
