Will some help me ID this worm. It’s supper skinny. Really long and lightning fast. It can retract back into its hole in a blink of an eye. Fro what I can tell it doesn’t move from its hole but expends out. It’s 100 percent some type of worm. It’s not a hydrid or however that’s spelled lol. I have those also. It’s not that.

either a peanut worm or some type of eunice worm or dorvilleidae worm.


I cant really see a head and its very zoomed out so you cant really see its face or anything it just looks like a long worm which could be anything but you said it zoomed back into a hole which probably not all worms do.

You have the snot rocket from hell....

Oenone Fulgida. I nearly quit the hobby over 2 in my tank. Had to remove the rock they were in and let it dry until the crawled out.

Notice all your snails dying lately?

Does it look like an orange millipede with black eyes? If so, it’s an oenone fulgida like someone mentioned! They’re little *****s if you have inverts! If you see snail shells covered in clear slime, it’s from them.
