Just caught this today after removing rocks to catch some fish.

Is that the head/mouth of the worm? If so I've seen a lot of sci-fi movies with things that look like that! Now I know where they get their inspiration from! Haha.

here's the head with tenticles retracted.

Look like one of these guys in pic

Not close. That's majano or ball maybe. I've watched the mother spit out the tiny well formed rockflowers . She catches the gametes, injests them. Incubated the gives live birth. The mother is 3 inches across. Look at the pic of the orange one earlier. Green is the same. Just green.

OMG, I think the tail is scarier than the head!! Haha. I can deal with any type of terrestrial worm and I encourage them in my garden. The marine worms on the other hand are a hard "no" for me. Something that can grow longer than I am tall and can probably swallow me whole will never live with me!! LOL

My coral supplier thinks it's a sea cucumber of some kind.

This definitely looks like a sea cucumber of some kind - maybe a plump sea cucumber? (it's not a tiger tail, though)

When the mouth is open it really does. But those thorns? I'm an old guy and I haven't seen this. It did come from kp I'm sure. It's the only uncured rock in the tank.

That looks great. I'm in. Thanks.

"Sea cucumber" doesn't make it less scary! Haha.

I would have to put my tank outside if I saw that creeping around in it! I know there's supposed to be beauty in everything on this planet but some creatures sit at the very bottom of the scale!! Haha.

I’m talking about this guy

The larger one is less than a 8th inch. Yes tiny one to the left is about 3 days. There's no green ones spotted yet from thin batch. They'll be easier to find in a few days.
