Hi everyone,
I recently found a very small worm in my reef tank and took some microscope pictures of its head. There are many thin tentacle-like appendages on it, much more than 5, which makes me think it’s not a Eunice worm, although at first I was afraid of that.
It is a 2 cm long worm, I’m assuming it might be a spionid polychaete or something along those lines, but I could sure use some expert confirmation or denial.
Thank you for your help!
