Hi all,

Does anyone know what this is? There are multiple spots in my substrate that has these, it looks like some kinda worm but not sure. They seems to originate from one spot and spread out.

Thanks

I can not see the tube, but that slime net looks like the food trap a vermetid snail puts out.

The other possibility, as I enlarge the picture, is that it's a spaghetti or hair worm....which is a good thing. I usually see them when lights are out.....waving in the sandbed.

Thanks a lot. After googling what a spaghetti worm is, It does look a lot like what's in my tank. I guess I need to go easy on the feeding.
