Worm?

Gaspipe · Jun 24, 2021

Hi, can someone please tell me what this is? I purchased live reef-rubble from @AquaBiomics and that's about the only thing I have in the tank to stare at right now lol.

Thanks,
Gaspare

Maybe a peanut worm?

Does it move or is it rigid?
Could be a peanut worm (harmless) or vermetid snail (pita).

It moves as in "sways". It's def not bending.

BTW, I'm trying to post a video from imgur. I see the vid during the "preview" stage, but once I post it, I see a grey screen. Link is Video

This one worked. Does it retract if you poke it? Don't think it's a vermetid, their casings are usually solid.

I'm hoping it's not a tube hydriod. It's no vermetid snail. If you can view fine fibers from the top, I would for sure say hydriod. Feather dusters have a feathery fibers. I can't make any feathers out.

Nope... Stayed erect even when I moved it around. If I didn't know better I would have thought it's a thread.

I should have stated this before... the tank is NEW, you can see from my builder thread. I added saltwater this week and the only thing added was the live reef-rubble. I'm looking for the analysis sheet the LR came with and will post it.

But i figure some will geek out over it.

Seems to not be a vermetid or a peanut. Maybe a feather tube?

You may be 100% right, my only hesitation is I have not introduced anything except the live reef rubble, which is seeded in a fishless environment. According to the report it has zero parasites.

Hoping someone would say "Hey that's a such-and-such, those are awesome hitchhikers". Well guess that's not the case... We'll see and wait. But thank you for the look!
