Pooky85 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Turned on the light this morning and saw this it was out the rock about an inch. Anybody know what this is and if I should get it out? Thank you in advance!! Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I cannot find what it is. Never seen such a worm. You should take more pictures. Here a guide about reef worms and their physiognomy : https://chucksaddiction.thefishestate.net/hitchworms.html Quote Link to comment
Pooky85 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I will take more when it’s back out. Will try and get a video of it as well. I’ve looked at that before not much help. Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 😬 It looks a lot like a spaghetti worm (Cirratulus) but the tentacles look too small. Quote Link to comment
Pooky85 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 It’s pretty big it was over an inch sticking out so who knows how much is inside the rock. Quote Link to comment
M. Tournesol Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Do not seems to be a sea cucumber. It could also be a big bristle worm. Quote Link to comment
Pooky85 Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have a bristleworm so that’s why this one is so weird to me. The rock came from the Gulf of Mexico if that helps at all. Quote Link to comment
