What is this?

went down to look at the tank after lights out and everyone asleep. I turn on the lights and see this.

Sorry for the poor phone pics, didn't have time to get the real camera. Never seen it before and didn't think I'd find any hidden hitchhikers in my rock at this point.

Looks to me like a stomatella. They're good guys.

+1
But I'm just curious what's the long string on front of it which moving with the Stomatella?! if it's poo ok, but if isn't can't get it from the photos
Otherwise the Sromatellas are good CUC.

Looks kind of like those feeler tentacle things. Idk what they're called.

They usually don't have them that long, and they have a pairs of "Tentacles" (I see both of them on photo 3 clearly), so that's something else, probably isn't important.

you think Spinoid worm is the answer about the long tentacle we see on the photo? Yep can be, just usually they retract them when something moving near them, but this one isn't been disturbed at all from the Stomatella.

Yes I do.

Thanks all! I was thinking it might be stomatella after looking around before posting. He definitely only had 2 antennae/feelers.

Interesting about the spionid worms, I've notice what look like small tubes of sand but that it was just sand that got kicked up onto the rocks and clumped together!
