NanoFever Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So hoping someone might be able to id this it give something to at least narrow it down. I was looking at my tank last night before I went to sleep and saw some antennas in the love rock. To me the antenna movements and the tip of the nose remind me if a shrimp. Any help would be great. I took a video and this is the best I could get. Link to comment

ndrobey Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 There is more than one of them, possibly a mated pair. I would use a bottle trap and try to catch it/them. Link to comment

GHill762 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Lol that's a bobbit worm, nasty little critter. They get very large (like several feet) and eat fish. Occasionally found as hitchhikers. Link to comment
