For you worm experts out there, I have what look to be scale worms living in a couple of rocks. Could they be the culprit in a declining GSP colony? They are maybe 1/4 inch long white and have two rows of black spots. Anyone?

I know a professor at UD that is a real worm expert, but he doesn’t know the tropical stuff as well. From that description I really have no idea. Doesn’t sound like the typical benificial critters though…

Photos?
