![]() Well...I got up this morning, and was admiring my work from last night
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's about a half inch long, white, swims real fast, and from what I could see some what resembles a white, pudgy tad pole....it was definitely alive and swimming. I tried to take a pic but the camera didn't focus on it right. ![]() Then I saw get sucked into the overflow. ![]() Help! |

![]() I think there are some parasitic isopods that may fit that description. They suck the blood out of fish. 1/2" may be a little large for these, but that is all that came to mind.

![]() If it is still in your sump, net it out and take a pic in a small tank or tupperware. Sounds very interesting.

![]() It may have been a bristleworm epitoke. This is the reproductive form of some polychaete worms. At first it will be trailing a large worm like sperm sac, which will eventually empty into the water column (and feed your corals). The ones I have are ~ 3/4 to 1 inch for the worm portion and 3 inches for the reproductive portion. The one in the photo is substantially smaller, but has the same general appearance

![]() Well, now I can't find the stupid thing!
![]() So far none of the pics posted are it....I appreciate the efforts though. It didn't have any sort of antena, legs, or things coming off it. Just weird. If I find it, I'll nab it next time. Oh, I also have a chiton I didn't know I had.....are they ok?
