vanillabox Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 There seems to be a type of Worm or something that is living inside one of the rocks in my Eclipse 6 that I have at work. I have included a pic of it. Here is as detailed a discription that I can give. It is about 1 inch long (at least what I have seen of it) It is black and white striped It extends like a polyp It has very fine tentacles on the head of it It always stays attached to the rock It is quite active and is always cleaning the rock around it (and poops alot) It seems to have Visual (photo) perception as it retreats to the rock when I approch the tank from across the room. Any Ideas? Link to comment
Korbin Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 When it extends, does it sort of "unfold" inside-out like a sock? It could be a peanut worm. I like 'em. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 17, 2002 Share Posted July 17, 2002 It's most likely just a bristle worm, and nothing to worry about Link to comment
