Stomatella perhaps?
I believe that is possible. They might split off a portion of the "tail" as some other Polychaetes do.Also is it possible the worm split?
I definitely thought y’all were into something for a minute, but I just poked the crown with some tong and it shot back in the tube. Is it possible that this is just a segment of the worm?I think @G Santana might be right. It really does look like a tube worm. Is the crown opening at all? Maybe the worm dropped its crown, the crown is stuck on the tube, and the worm crawled out and is dying. I don't know if it's plausible. But i choose to believe it. lol
I was thinking this earlier because it was near the tube of the worm.I believe that is possible. They might split off a portion of the "tail" as some other Polychaetes do.
This is 100% not a feather duster. I’m confident in some type of sea cucumber possibly a squirtI definitely thought y’all were into something for a minute, but I just poked the crown with some tong and it shot back in the tube. Is it possible that this is just a segment of the worm?
It’s a sea apple part of the sea cucumber family couldn’t remember what they were calledThis is 100% not a feather duster. I’m confident in some type of sea cucumber possibly a squirt
And what makes you so sure?This is 100% not a feather duster. I’m confident in some type of sea cucumber possibly a squirt
I’ve seen feather duster out of they’re tube had one die before and pulled it out looks nothing like this. They are slender and have little grippers on the side they use to move in and out of the tube.And what makes you so sure?

The little gripping spines (Chaeta) are shown in the first image quite clearly, and in the second image you can see how this is a segmented worm which a sea apple is not. I will have to disagree with you.I’ve seen feather duster out of they’re tube had one die before and pulled it out looks nothing like this.

@Uzidaisies is right. It does have chaeta along two of its sides. I’m curious if the Zoe is just due to swelling. I’m not sure what, if anything, would cause that, it is only a guess. The reason I say this is because I kept it in a net floating in my tank and, although it doesn’t appear to move, it doesn’t look as bloated now. Still the same size in length though.The little gripping spines (Chaeta) are shown in the first image quite clearly, and in the second image you can see how this is a segmented worm which a sea apple is not.
