Worm?

[Yahdiel91]

Hello all

Doing a big clean today, as I was removing and replacing medias I found what seems like some type of worm.. Not sure what kind or if it's safe or not.. Found 1 today in one of the media pads.. Haven't seen it in the actual Dt..

Anything helps! Thank you

I have never seen a spaghetti worm out of the water, but that is the first thing that popped into my mind.

need a pic even in a cup of water to clearly identify and not out of water. Can be a spaghetti or phyllodocid or other

I’d lean more to the Phyllodocida

Good or bad if it is?

Spaghetti is good if it is- eats uneaten food and detritus but unconfirmed
Phyllodocids are predators and will eat smaller shrimp and other worms

I wish I would of thought of this before I flushed it, Sorry.. The best I can do is those pics and they have like fuzzy sides.. in the picture it looks yellow because I was flashing a light on it.. But when in the water it was about half inch long and it was like brownish redish and translucent.. Somewhat of an earth worm look alike

No problem - You did the right thing in terms of . . . If in doubt- chuck it out
I often eliminate unknowns as my feelings are, If I did not out you in there- you're not welcomed

Looks more like the phyllodocid, looked it up and it's quite similar.. If I do find more I will post a better pic.. Thank you!

Anything that would eat worms in general?

Looks like Oenone fulgida aka the devils snot rocket.... Look snot trails to tell if you have them. They are Lightning fast and feast on your CUC.
