I found this thing and screamed then it flew somewhere and I realized it was dried and dead. So either something crawled out my tank and it kind of looks like a peanut worm shell or something else. Perhaps a millipede or something along those lines? What do you think? The fact that it was dried/has no legs and near my tank when I know I had a lid off leads to me believe it could’ve been from the tank?

No idea but all the creepy crawlies get to me sometimes too. Whenever I change my media bag and an amohipod crawls all over my hands I get freaked out.

Looks like a bristle worm, they a good cleanup crew unless they get out of hand, they clean up that debris.
