Unfortunately it was empty... otherwise i would have loved to see what kind of creature would come out
Can be a tubeworm, vermetid or spinoid. As long as you have the tube in your hand, a good opportunity to discard. You can place it in a cup of tank water but you dont want the above listed in your tank and multiplyI assume it is a worm but could it be harmful? Didnt find the worm or critter that made these but did find this tube that seems to be made of a mucus or something that holds the sand together to create this tube. Nothing seems to be out of place or eaten but was curious and wanted to check
These are spionid worms or spaghetti worms.
My spaghetti worms are red…. Bristle Fan Worms make tubes. Medusa worms make tubes. It could be a lot of things
My reply was to chandavi's post.
I know, I replied to your reply. I think spaghetti worm is a generic term used for the look of possibly lots of different species of worms. No scientific facts behind that statement but just my opinion.
No, there IS science behind my claim. I posted parts of an article, and the link, to explain it.
Medusa worms do not make tubes
This article does not include any of the worms you mentioned.Worm Hitch Hikers
