I just saw it...it's too little to take a picture... about 5mm. I cant tell if it's got a shell or not. It has antennas like snails. Any ideas? Just an idea to point me in any direction?

Could be any number of things. Off the top of my head could be a bristle worm.

Flatworm perhaps?


Here’s red planaria, does it look anything like this?

I can't tell... this guy was all alone and had a body like a snail without the shell... same tentacles as a snail.
Could you send another picture from a different angle?

Yay! Glad to help

yeah- it’ll be fine. They eat spirobid worms, so if you don’t have any, it won’t last long. I have10-15 in my coral QT tank but I haven’t seen any in my display.
