Definitely some kind of worm under there at least I’d think that after the last set of clearer pics. Maybe a kind of Eunice ?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

No all Eunice are vicious brutes. And it’s only a guess
I think you meant NOT.....?

I was kind of thinking that was what it was with an earlier pic of the "tentacles".
I agree not all are vicious but with how that one, if it is one, is laid out, I am thinking ambush predator. Now its just a guess as if it is one and how big does this one get.

Oh, i did not realize, phew... so it could just be a beautiful 3 foot long worm! Lol

It does look a little more innocent than a bobbit. I can't see pincers and they are tentacley looking. Which would lean towards a filtering worm.

Could be a trick of the camera or angle but that has me a little worried.

Yeah.. they could be blending in with the tentacles when it is fully open. It does lay flat on the sand Like it is waiting for something to walk by and touch it.... My emotions are everywhere. Lol

Can you scoop it out with a net?

It is either attached to the bottom of the tank or more likely it runs to one of my rocks..
it is in a really difficult spot to scoop. My desk is on the side of the tank and it is in that back corner. The spot is also the closest my rocks get to the back wall.

I don't think so. None of the pictures show it opened up as big as mine is. It is about 1.75" in diameter.

My cleaner shrimp died this morning, he was a few months younger than my clowns which were my first fish :(. He was in a hole in a rock so I figured my pistol shrimp had him. But! I have liverock so I'm paranoid of worms.
I took my flashlight around the tank just now and found a thing..

I could not get my camera to focus so the video is very bad. The angle was just terrible. I also could not see it well but I'm not positive it has a mouth. It almost looked like a wierd anemone to me. It is about 2 inches in diameter

I have no idea what it is. But the video might demonstrate behavior some. I tried to get it to respond to brine and it went under.. If it is a worm. It is huge.

From 20seconds to 57 seconds nothing happens so skip.


two palps suggest a spinoid worm

I am sorry, what is a palp again?
And I have more to report!

It is actually out during the day and I've seen it around for awhile. I thought it was a mushroom..

Edit: and where it is now, I will be able to get really good pictures tonight when it opens up again.

I googled it, I might need to call in some bigger guns.

Also, I found this on the interwebs and this looks very similar..
I just don't have a stalk for mine. Maybe it needs time to grow it.


Edit: nvm "Snake Polyps" or w/e is in that thread is photosynthetic and I am doubting mine is.
