Saw a 1 inch slime thread leading back to this curious worm looking thing peaking out from under a zoa frag. Could this be the head of a vermetid? Do they poke out of their tube like this ever? The frag is glued down so I cant look under it to see if there's a tube. It seems fixed at this location but sways back and forth counter to the current.
Or maybe it is actually a worm of some kind?
It only protrudes a few mm out from under the frag and its about 0.5 mm in diameter. Its white at the head but fades to a more tan color further back. The pic is the best I could get zooming in with my phone, and unfortunately the resolution gets cut down in posting.
Would appreciate any thoughts since I'm new enough to never have seen a vermetid in person (or really any hitchhikers). Thanks!
