Hi. not sure what this is but i use to see it come out the sand at night when my frags were in the sand. now that the frags are on a diy rack I have a much clearer view of it. help identifying this living branch. almost looks like living roots.

bump... i realize this is a tough one or someone would have jumped all over it.

Your saying its mobile? Looks like algae.

Is it attached to a worm?

Total guess, some of my spaghetti worms look like this when they crawl out on the glass at night, but they are bright red/orange. I have some transparent/white ones too. Not sure if there are green ones?

+1 on spaghetti worm

I could only best describe it as a mobile root system of some sort. as crazy as that sounds. The color tone is very root ish, lightish brown with tiny vines branching outwards

Here’s a pic of a spaghetti worm in my tank. I’ve seen them come in different colors. Red, yellow, brownish.
