Long tentacled rock critter

Keithb22 · Mar 9, 2020

So as always it seems when I upload my pictures they will not be as clear as they are on my phone. But while inspecting my tank tonight I saw a long string ( 12 ish inches or maybe 8) coming from a rock. So I followed it back and I saw like 2-3 short tentacles that looked like worms coming from the bottom. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks again for any help or assistance.

Also if of any importance I just saw it poop out a disintegrating string, was incredibly weird. I uploaded a video to see if that may help.

I think I have the same thing.

I don't really see it in your pictures, but the description sounds like a vermetid snail. Were the "worms" hard or soft? The snail it would be like a tube.

I think it’s spaghetti worms, possibly have Vermatid snails also but they don’t seem to spread so I’m not sure their alive. Haven’t seen them out either, might be left over shell

Mine has quite a few tentacles and the reach on them is crazy. I've seen the tentacles go to other rocks, and it looks like it is pulling stuff up them ? they also look really gooey

If i could get a good pic, I would post

I can’t see your video but it sounds like it’s Probably spaghetti worms. They clean up leftover food and waste, good to have. My peppermint shrimp wiped out my spaghetti worm population.
