paradizecityz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just saw this on a piece of rock that I bought recently. I can't tell if it's aiptasia or maybe a feather duster? As soon as I come to the tank to look, it retracts into the rock but eventually will come back out. If I take that piece out of the water, it retracts and won't come back out. Sorry for the bad pic Link to comment
ajmckay Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It's hard to be sure based on the pic being dark and blue, but that looks like a feather duster or similar worm. Aptasia aren't skiddish like that. Also the tentacles on aptasia tend to be more wavy, squiggly, and irregular where that looks more symmetrical. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Definitely not aptasia - just a fan worm of some sort. Link to comment
