Just saw this going around my tank. It kinds looks like a bristle worm but with no bristles, and it sort of looks like a centipede.

@ISpeakForTheSeas I know you get tagged a lot, and first post in but I got nothing. Never seen something so fat and tense. Looks like it belongs in a tube almost but, an overweight sized tube.

So are you saying this is one of those "when in doubt" situations? lol

Kinda looks like some sort of eunice worm from that second still shot.

Behavior not typical of that group tho

Honestly so cool!
