Yikes!
I just tried to feel my little hermit an algae disk and this thing shot out of the rock and took it! It looked like a snake or an eel or something. It was lightning fast, grabbed the food and disappeared completely.
My wife saw it take brine this morning but I have very brazen bristleworms that I see on the rocks during the day sometimes and I thought maybe that's what she saw.
But now I'm as creeped out as she was. It's stealing food right away from my scarlet hermit! I'm going to try to get the hermit out of there because if it steals an algae disk, it could go for its legs, or get it when it molts.
No pictures because it's lightning fast. I'll try to get a video. There's no coral on the rock and I'm thinking about a LONG soak in RO water right now.
It doesn't look like anything on the pinned hitchhikers list. Any thoughts?
