I have about 20Kg of live rock already there in my tank 75Gallon , but I want to add more and I'm done with the worms which have come with them , that's why I like to add dead rocks , so can I add them without any problems , my tank has been running for 2 months so far and I have 3 fishes (three species) with some star fishes , please advise , awaiting your reply.

ANSWER: hi, your question doesn't really make sense. dead rock from where? and worms that come with liverock are not always bad, in fact most are a good part of clean up crew.

I've attached a photo to one kind of worms which came attched with my old live rocks , is it good or bad? Awaiting your advise.

Thanks and regards.

Answer
ha got the photo, that is a fire worm, looks like a monster too! they are not that bad as they do help with leftover food in the tank, if you find you have too many its can be a sign of overfeeding, its pretty simple to make a trap.

place some food in the bottom of a tallish glass and lean the glass up against a rock, the worms will be able to get in but not out.
just don't touch them as those little hair like spnes will stick in your skin, and beleive me they hurt, and are a total arse to get out.
