CDone Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Noticed this creature on my rock, unfortunately its in an awkward spot to get a good photo of. It has shiny glassy hairs (spikes) radiating out from a center, I've also noticed tentacles sweeping out from it once in a while. Here's a really poor photo, but you can see the hairs, spikes reflecting light. Thanks Colin Link to comment

lakshwadeep Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Try taking the photo with the pumps off. That may help stop particles from obscuring the image. Also, check the sticky in the photography forum for more tips. Link to comment
chuckfullservice Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Maybe be a feather duster but hard to tell. Need a better pick please! Link to comment
CDone Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Heres another shot, only thing that has me puzzled is the tentacles, didn't think barnacles or feather dusters had them. never mind the hydroid forest, they will be nuked very soon. Thanks Colin Link to comment

Thanks Colin I have the exact same thing in between my colony of lordhowensis acans. Have you ID'd them and how did you get rid of them? Thanks, wishba Link to comment
Mariaface Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Bristle cage worm. It took me nearly a year to get an ID on mine. Link to comment
