HELP UNKNOWN WORM THING!
 

here are some pics HELP!!!!!!!!!

Its hard to tell. It sort of looks like a scaleworm to me. They're good. If you still have it in a container see if you can take a pic of it laying flat.

Yup, scaleworm. Good stuff!! :biggrin:

Christy :)

what does it do???? Purpose? :eek:

double post, see below :rolleyes:

Beats me, I guess they just do worm stuff :wink: I find them all the time on nets and wharf pilings and stuff. They may eat algae, they may eat smaller organisms like copepods and stuff. I have no idea but I was told they were good when I found one in my tank.

This is the one I had:

From Dr. Ron:

"It appears to be a scale worm - probably in the family Polynoidae, Class Polychaeta, Phylum Annelida.

See another example here

Most of these animals are predatory on small bugs (amphipods, ostracodes) or scavengers. Probably harmless in a reef tank. "

They look loke underwater catapillars.

That's nifty. :cool:

Yes, nifty - looks like one of those many toxic things that causes problems when it gets chopped to bits in your Tunze stream...

:confused:
