Default Skimmer cup discovery
So tonight I was cleaning out my skimmer cup and found this delightful creature in the cup I have zero idea how he got in there but it freaked me out because I was not expecting it and I clean my cup every 4 days. I have had numerous snails but never this in there before

So it begs the question what have you found in your skimmer cup in the past that you weren't expecting?

WOW!! Thats a first. How it managed to get through a pump without getting hacked up and up through bubbles that are lighter than that thing is incredible.

Maybe it's some enhanced mutant bristle worm that is immune to impellers. I'd lock that sucker down in max security
