(✅ Spaghetti Worm) Unable to determine ID of this worm

Recommended Posts

Can't tell if it's a type of Spaghetti Worm or Spoon Worm. Noticed tiny tentacles protruding from my sand-bed this evening. Used a siphon to take it out to inspect further (curiosity always has me).

 

It appears to be a single worm, but can easily split apart into multiple worms (or feelers?). Not sure now if it's a bunch of tiny worms that have a hive mind and regroup into one larger organism.

 

Will try and post another close-up pic and a video.

Here's a video showing the weird little critter. It seems the "body" consists of other tiny worms which makes me think it's not a spaghetti worm because it doesn't have mouth feelers.

 

Hoping to determine this species before I have to call the Department of Energy and inquire on any local experiments going on.
