Snail Laying squiggly eggs? Or spaghetti worm

[NowGlazeIT]

Looks like a spaghetti worm is hitchhiking under this snail shell. What does it look like to you guys?

Snail eggs.

Spaghetti worms don't look a thing like that, though you might think so from the name...

I thought it could have been the tenticals of some more uncommon species of spaghetti worms. I saw a cluster of this stringy stuff on my rocks a couple weeks ago when I was scrubbing the rocks. There were no snails nearby then

I think that’s medusa

Looks like her, doesn't it?!

I've got a different species of spaghetti worm, whose tentacles are four or so inches long, and writhe like serpents as they search for food.

Medusa "worms" look less like the mythical monster to me - and are sea cucumbers.

@Maritimer i didn’t even realize there was a medusa worm aka cucumber. Thanks for the info.

I still think the spaghetti worm looks like Madusa.
