It’s nighttime in my tank right now and this absolutely wild looking worm (I’m guessing?) emerged! o_O Any idea what it is?
I tried to take a video but it wouldn’t post :( it seems to be grabbing at spots on the rock, then removing its mouth and pushing this white “fan” out and then doing it again. As I was watching another one seems to emerge behind it, but maybe it’s just its other end lol.

Cool, thanks! I’m curious to see if it’ll venture all the way out when I turn my living room lights out.
your animal is very interesting, mind getting a clearer shot in white lighting?
 
Def peanut. Yours has the fan head. Many do not.

I have a feeling it will hide with the white lights since I only caught it once the blue clicked on but I’ll see... it’s up to some pretty interesting things now lol the light is fully off but the lights from the room let me capture these, although they’re not terribly much clearer. It really knows its way around the rock!

At some point you'll get a chance, I'm trying to make notes for all the hitchhikers, if there's any behaviors or habits you notice definitely keep me posted
