Hello, I'm pretty hands off with this hobby, because... well my husband "volun-told" me into it. I really don't do much with his tanks except observe, feed, and clean the glass. I found one of the duster worms had been blown to the other side of the tank. I have no idea how long it's been out of it's tube. I assumed it was pretty shy bc it's so small/young, the tube about an inch, give or take, so that being said we don't/didn't see it very often. The other 2 dusters are doing great, but they're much larger. When I did see this little one, it appeared to be happy. (As far as I know, no one has messed it.)
I went to take it out and flush it, but it's still alive. I buried it's body in some sand up against the rock and left the filter end sticking up. It's tube is in a difficult place in the tank in addition to some decent current, which is obviously why it was blown away.
I noticed a weird pink almost transparent tube on the side of it's actual dark colored tube. Is this some kind of parasite or is it possibly turning into a cluster duster of sorts?? It does retract/close to movement and/or poking it, but then again, so does aptasia. I looked all around the tank for anything else that looked similar and found nothing.
Thoughts??
