Spotted this tiny little asparagus-y guy next to one of the spaghetti worms. Could it be a bamboo worm maybe? Less than 1cm sticking out of the sand. (Also, never noticed those tiny hairs in the sand, wonder if they're just my Marimo balls shedding or if I'm starting to get some hair algae)

I think your correct with that being a bamboo worm.
For the algae I'd try to pull some out and compare it to the balls.

Thanks! I'll leave the guy alone for now then, unless it develops big ol' jaws or something. Will check the algae, it's so tiny I only noticed it when taking this pic =)

Ha,Ha! Hopefully no big jaws come ripping out of the sand🤣
