I've had this one snail for years, yeah...just one He's been in the tank since the beginning, wouldn't this have shown up sooner? The crabs have been in there for a long time too, at least a year.May have hitchhiked on a shell. I've seen snails with them on their shell.
So just net that sucker out and flush it?It's definitely a vermetid worm. I have a mean fish that knocks them off the rocks occasionally and they end up in the sand. I'd pull it out.
They multiply like crazy.

I'm adding more snails soon, I quarantine them I'm not even sure that matters. lol Can you freshwater dip a new snail and drop it in the DT?
the only really new thing I've been adding is frozen plankton, but I doubt that brought a living thing into my tank.

I still don't know where it could have come from....I was hoping my conch had a baby, hahaha
Please correct me if I’m wrong but I still don’t think that’s a vermetid.
I have a lot too; I’ve never seen any move like that though. That’s why I’m leaning towards some sort of worm.I can post some scary pics tomorrow of my vermetid forest and it will make you a believer. Lol.
It's the tube that's a dead giveaway.
Your good lolWell, don't I feel stupid. I hadn't watched the video, just looked at the first pic. It's not a tube, it's a worm. Please disregard all of my previous comments. Haha.

That’s pretty interesting. Just learned something todayThey actually do move. But in the juvenile phase. They’re super small. I can’t find a picture of their juvenile phase though. It’s apparently not as well documented as their adult phase.
