Need an ID on this thing

[kirru]

What is this?
Its the whiteish tube like thing, it was longer when i noticed it. It retracted awfully quick when I shone a flashlight looking around the tank like 5 minutes ago. Any ideas? Let me know if I need to get a better pic.

Thanks to all who knows or attempts to know.

Some sort of worm but without a clear picture it's hard to tell. Does it have bristles?

It looks like it could be a peanut worm. Nothing to worry about.

peanut.

I googled peanut worm and could find anything that looked like it and I'm working on getting a better pic. should be able to get one up soon.

what is a peanut worm?

 

[kirru]

yea, thats wut it looked liked when I first found it. how did it get there? how could it have survived the ammonia spike when it was cycling?


I think i got a clearer pic, its really hard to tell cause its so hard to get a clear pic at night. as long as its harmless, with regards to holes in rocks, which is cool, i'll leave it alone for now

I'll check those links barbara, thanks.

haha, well i'm just surprised cause I the tank hit 4.0ppm amonia in the cycle and i had a couple of small brown polyps survive too, plus the water was a milky color as well but i still dont know why it did that.

also, i read those links and its sounds like it has been identified.

aww, i am sorry. well, he scared the crap outta me when I saw him retract, I can now hold a flashlight at him and look at him. it just sits there, i think he, in total, extends about 4 inches, give or take a few as he is weaving in and out of the rock on one rock
