Land bug or dried tank worm/pod?

[AydenLincoln]

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.

I think it’s a millepede! GROSS! Time to call the bug guy or as some people call them an exterminator that sprays my house regularly.

Yup this is me and I hate bristleworms too that’s well documented on here lol!

Oh no there’s more. Can I sleep in my car tonight? That sounds like a good plan.

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

It’s not that. I realized it’s a millepede.

Yes it could be, your picture is not that clear, they are not as good as bristle worms, for they swarm to the polyps, keep checking to see if any more.
