I found it on top of a john deere coral.

Not really sure. But I'm betting someone of the [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] will know!

Can you get a clearer picture?

Does it look like a zoa nudibranch? Google for a pic of those. I think John Deer's are zoas right?

Could be anything though from that picture hehe

Agree, picture is too fuzzy, but if I were to guess, I'd say a nudibranch. They tend to be the same color of the coral they are eating (but not all the time.)

Gonna dis agree. I'm going with spaghetti worm. When the travel they throw themselves into the current. Once they land they spread out thier arms w Blak n yellow stripes.
Head over to the lionfishlair website. Hitchikers.

It looks more like a spaghetti worm to me as well. Either Terebellid or Cirratulid I believe.

I have spaghetti worms and it is not one. Close in color. It has an enlarged head and a segmented body.

 

[Bunnee911]

Nope, not a nudibranch. No legs.

Nothing at all like these?

After breaking out a jewelers loupe, I believe it IS a spaghetti worm. Thanks y'all.
