chemikalzsky Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Hey everyone! While I was looking at my little bowl tonight, I noticed a something that I haven't seen before. Since I have always heard, "if you don't know what it is, take it out" I grabbed my handy turkey baster and sucked it right out and put it in a plastic container to get a picture of it. I tried googling it, but I got a bunch of different results. You guys have any idea what it could be? Link to comment
amphipod Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Does it have visible mouthparts? Does it expand and contract or just wiggle? Does it have antennae? Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's really small so I can't tell if it has mouth parts and antennae or not, but it wiggles. The picture doesn't show it very well, but the coloration goes from a light orange color to a dark red and has a whitish head and a whitish tip on the end Link to comment
amphipod Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 get a magnifying glass and check it Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 I came home today from work and the container it was in is empty.... I think the roommate thought there was nothing in the container and dumped the water. Link to comment

NeoClown Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I found something similar and just posted a new thread about it. Did yours look the same as this? http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/363768-another-worm-id/#entry5094067 Link to comment

yoshii Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did it have black retractable "jaws" visible through its head? Link to comment
NeoClown Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It sure did! Does yours have a reddish hue to it? A little. It was more pinkish with what looked like reddish stripes. Like this? Yes, very similar. I could see the black part on or through its head but couldn't tell if it was retractable. What is it? Link to comment
yoshii Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, very similar. I could see the black part on or through its head but couldn't tell if it was retractable. What is it? I don't remember if I ever ID'd it, those pics are a few years old, but all I know if that they are harmless algae grazers Link to comment
NeoClown Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Good to know. Thanks Yoshii. Link to comment
amphipod Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 look for 5 antennae I know a few things of what it could be but a few have an often unfairly bad rep with reefers. possibly dorvilleidae that's if there is 2 pairs (4) antennae good guys they are Link to comment
chemikalzsky Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 That's exactly what my worm looked like! Thanks for the pics yoshii. How'd you get such a detailed picture? If they are good guys, amphipod, my roommate is gonna get it for tossing it out. Good to know. Thanks Yoshii.BTW, is that Kira Yamato in your avatar? Link to comment
