JasonH Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Okay, bad picture - back of the tank at night in a spot where I can't really reach the glass to clean it. I noticed this... thing sticking out from under the rock just next to the empty snail shell. It was moving around on it's own. Doesn't really look like a worm - looks kind of like the proboscis of a conch - though it's certainly not. Any ideas? Sorry again about the bad pic. As soon as the flash went off it was out of sight.

JasonH Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Yep - definately a peanut worm. And luckily, they seem to be reef safe. Thanks for the quick replies and great info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidalsculpin Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I have a peanut worm in my coldwater tank. They are weird looking and change shape. One more thing. I agree it is a peanut worm too, but partially becuse of its proximity to a rock. They tend to burrow or hover at the edges or rocks in order to graze on detritus that settles there. Cool to see a tropical peanut worm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
