JonPM Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Not sure what it is. If no one here identifies it, I would just remove it. no point in risking it, ya know? Link to comment

newbiecarlz Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 id say its a peanut worm or echiuran ... or (unlikely, but to keep in the spirit of this thread) a member of phylum priapulida (which means literally, 'the penis') unless it does something nasty (like die) id leave it Link to comment
Hisdudeness Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I agree with newbiecarlz, it looks very much like the peanut worms I find in sedinment samples at work. I don't know much about them but if you don't see that it is affecting anything and you don't have anything sensitive like corals or seahorses in the tank I would leave it in there as a unique addition.

reef hugger Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I agree with newbiecarlz, peanut worm or echiuran. Link to comment
Lingwendil Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I've broken LR open for aquascaping when I first started Marine tanks last december,and found a couple of those in holes inside the rock. I took them to the LFS and they told me peanut worms, and that they were harmless, so I put them back in my 5G, and haven't seen them since. Link to comment
