Anyone Identify This Thing

[JOANN]

It is just like jelly and it floats around landing on corals I have had a few losses over night and I think this is the problem.

It is also in same tank that has these and many of them. Glass bottom frag tank ....

No one has an opinion?

My opinion is I have no idea what it is, but I'm curious also.

I have never seen anything like that personally. The bottom pic looks like a piece (appendage) of a crustacean of some sort? The top pic looks like a type of worm. It's not a Polyclad Flatworm but I'm guessing it has the same feel. I'm at a loss. Good thing you got it out

 

[Liquid360]

Welcome! Figure at least you'll know people are looking.

I have the red worm looking things in my dt, no issues, normally they stay in the sand or holes in the rock close to the sand. That first one I have no idea, I say KEEL IT.

 

[JOANN]

Oh it's keeled but they keep appearing. No sand or rock in tank. It is like a spaghetti worm but i wonder if they are what is causing the jelly thing?

The bottom one looks like a piece of a spaghetti worm to me and the top looks like it is some type of flat worm. I have never seen anything like it before so I can't be sure. Maybe someone on here will know. Good luck.

Do you run a sump on the frag tank? If so do you use a filter sock?

first pic looks like a dinoflagellate. I get them in my cast net all the time

That's so funny but seems accurate! My first thought was it appears to be something I saw in high school biology.

1st one no idea...

btw what is KEEL?

 

[birdsnest]

Its a way to say kill it with a synister evil genious twang but in type

 

[Reefing Madness]

I'll jump in here too. First pic, not a clue. Never seen anything like it.

 

[birdsnest]

I am changeing my previous answer, of a dinoflatulent, to a ctenophore.

 

[Mike&Terry]

i would also guess some type of ctenophore.
