I was looking in the tank today and seen this on my tank glass and never seen one before in 20+ years in this hobby. This thing has tons tenticals like a Octopuss on the one end and tons on legs all down the bottom of it and a Orange long head like a snail. It is very cool looking and here is a few Pic's i took but could not get a clear up close shot of it and should i keep it or get it out of the tank.

That is what i thought at first but never seen one like this before and it has to short of tenticals to be a spaghetti worm but i could be wrong.

looks like a spaghetti worm to me as well.. What did you end up doing with it?

Looks like some of the spaghetti worms I had in my old tank. When I was taking down the tank I'd stir them up and they looked like that.

Yep Spaghetti worm, I have them and they don't seem to bother anything.

Just don't let them grow too out of control, they will irritate the heck out of your zoas and palys!
