ID Please
Well recently I went to walmart and bought myself a nice red led flashlight, and my god am I hooked at staring into the tank at night!
so anyways I have been tracking this huge worm like thing in my tank for the last couple days with a red flashlight at night and just now I finally got some decent footage The picture is deceiving but it is quite large, like at least 2-3x the size of a pencil and I could only see 2-3 inches of it sticking out of the rock i have not noticed anything strange happening, all fish/corals have been very happy I poked this thing with a feeding stick and it felt powerful, freaked me out!

While during some googling I found a great worm website:
http://www.chucksaddiction.com/hitchworms.html How ever the beastie that is in my tank is not on there! Which makes me think its not a worm at all, so I will wait for the opinion of the experts :mrgreen: |
It's a Chiton. They are harmless, eat algae. I was surprised too when I found one in my rock :D
|
i do not think it is a chiton, after its "head" I could see an inch or more of body sticking into the rock, unless there is a kind of chilton with a head attached to a long body, but all the pics I've found don't really look like it

Yes, It is form of a Chiton. I have one that looks exactly like yours. No harm. He pokes his head outa the rock once in a while, then goes back in. Never coming completely out. Never harming anything
