goldenbasketreef Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 We have aussie acroporas shipment today and I found a worm that looks like a baby sea snake about 4-5" in one of the colony. The way it was coil at the acro branch reminded me of a tree python. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenbasketreef Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 That's awesome! I hope you don't intend on killing it. I would rather safe than sorry...lol Especially when a creature showing striking coloration like that, could be either bluff or venomous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sea snake mimic. Predators have the same reaction that we did, and leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadAShark Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Who cares what it is just KILL IT! That thing is just wrong in a tank........Or give it to me ;P I'll figure out what to do with it. It looks really cool, I'd love to keep it in a tightly sealed tank. A VERY tightly sealed tank ;P Edited June 1, 2016 by LadAShark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
