I try to avoid looking at my tank at 100% white light because I know I’m going to see things I don’t want to lol well I just looked everywhere and places I don’t typically look. Let’s see there’s some about a dozen different types of algae growing, spirorbid worms, one and just one bubble algae lol, a dead hermit crab I think peaking out of the sand I’ll deal with that later. And possibly aptasia. I realize now I think this is a spaghetti worm.

Could be. There's a saying: "If you don't like seeing scary things... don't turn on the white lights and go looking for them." Get a wrasse instead.

I know I get curios though lol! And I would if they didn’t get fairly big and if I was already maxed out on fish.

Oh and maybe my sand shifting goby will eat it just maybe.

Or maybe it will disappear into the void like my Rainford's goby...

He has his little spot/cave under the rock he comes out everyday and covers it every night!

Well for me it's hard to tell from the pictures, but spaghetti worms are great for detritus. I have one that decided to pop right up in front. Complete garbage collector, little miss pig-pen! I had to move the rock it was attached to. Because in an aquarium, we have our headliners and we have the support staff...

You know I never thought about it this way but it’s true lol!
