What's this creepy thing?
 

I just notice this today. It looks kinda like a Hawaiian feather duster but with 2 separate crowns side by side n long black lashes that surrounds it. Then it also has what looks exactly like a butt body part of a spider In between its two Head that's quite large... Here's a pic. It's directly on the left of the bubble Algee on my octospawn. When I scare it it retreats back into its tube.. Freaky freaky thang.

looks like micro filter feeder feather duster to me,harmless..

it sure looks too freaky to be a duster. the spider ass part just trips me out lol.... also theres 3 red bubble algae i found on on the bottom of my octospawn as well should i get rid of these asap? i got tons of regular green bubble algae in my tank... prob few hundreds from not knowing n popping them when tehre was only a few.

The pics aren't super clear but to me it looks like a feather and is totally harmless. If you already got lots of gba in your tank a few red ones won't be that bad. If you don't mind crabs get a few emeralds....they do a good job when they are small and hungry for food. I added 1 into my 75g and it makes it's way around the tank eating the shorter algae aswell as the gba.

I got lots of those in my tank as others have stated it is a feather duster they pop up everywhere no with no rhyme or reason I even got a few attached to my snails and hermit crab shells.

so, let me get this straight.. you're freaked out by the tiny feather duster, but you're OK with the creepy giant slow moving tentacley gelatinous mass above of it ? :lol:

:lol:

Couldn't help but to destroy it during a water change =P. anyways I'm starting to have more aiptasia multiplying. Tried the injecting like juice into it with a syringe but this is extremely difficult cuz they just retreat into the LR holes as soon as I touch them. I don't want to use any chemicals. Am I able to get a peppermint shrimp if I already have a blood red shrimp,cleaner shrimp n coral banded shrimp in my 75g tank?
