Sand creature

[beardedjack]

New creature in the tank. Was stretching out from the substrate and caught a pod in a web like tub. Has a bunch of tub like tentacles on the bottle keeping it attached to the sand.

Tube like, tentacles and on substrate kinda make me think spaghetti worm but I’m inexperienced and not quite sure. Hopefully it’s not a vermetid snail

Not a spaghetti worm. I have some in my tank and they tend to create a small mound with several tentacles sticking out.

No I have seen and kill many vermetid snails in the tank. I watching it finish eating the pod before I’m sure I’m hydroid but I have seen them on rock as well and it looks different.

It's very difficult to tell from your photos... Does it look like this? If so, it's a Phyllochaetopterus and you can read more about them here https://reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-05/rs/index.htm

No it has a tentacle like ball on the end of it that was stuck in the substrate. The other end had a tub that stretches out to catch prey and sucks back in
