I have noticed a couple of long 3" grey segmented looking worms in my gonipora. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will they harm the gonipora?

Can't help you on the worm ID, but the goni looks good! I have a Krazy Klown that loves to host im my Goni's to the point where they would not open. I had to put them under lock and key till the KK hosts in the BTA.

Looks like a bristle worm to me. Does the fp look like it's being eatin? If not, don't worry about it.

I wouldnt worry about the worms too much. The way most gonioporas are, it will die on its own without any help........hope not......but most do not do well long term.

Looks like a common bristleworm to me. I know you said you got it out, but if you have one, you have many more. A six line will eat the small ones and keep the bigger ones hiding, but you cannot get rid of them once you have them (and they are harmless IMO anyway).
