Hey Whiteleaf. I can't make out in your photo any worm you are describing. Can you mark up the photo with a circle or something and repost?

Also, in the photo is that as extended as your Alvio gets? Mine fully extended is about 4 times as large. Mine loves high light (center top with a MH 150) and strong - PULSATING - current (not constand direct). Under those conditions it get huge. I don't have any worms and I'm not aware of any symbiotics for Alvio. My policy is if I can't ID a worm - I try to get rid of it.

sorry worm not on alveopora on goiopora. alve used to extend more but think this stuff is stopping it extend.

dip the pieces and get rid of the worms... you may need repeated dips over time
