Possible elegance pest

[Spencedogg]

finally got a awesome new elegance from my lfs today. Brought it home and acclimated it. dipped It with coralrx and placed it in the frag rack. Noticed something coming out once it started to relax. Performed a second aggressive dip and once it started to relax again it came out. Placed it in my newly cycled fish qt (no additives yet) and not sure where to go from here.

I just picked it up to poke it and it just disappeared back inside by the time I got it to the surface. I took this picture before I picked it up. The longer I let it relax the longer it seems to get.

That’s a great idea and what I’m going to do! Thank you for the advice.

My thinking also. Completely harmless and is a great detritus eater.
