Best Hitchhiker Ever!!!

[ReefMonger]

Ok I have had this guy in my tank for around 6 months and finally got a good pic of him. He is a bonellid echiuran worm. He is really cool to watch at night move around and eat detritus.

 

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

wow, thats pretty weird!

 

[GobyJohnKenobi]

You got my full attention. What is it?

 

[Ballesta]

cant see the pics, in for when i get home.

Not sure if it's gonna beats the pygmy octupus this one guy at our local site got as a hitchhiker one time.

Man is that luck or what

Ok I am always amazed how clear some peoples pics are. Mine look like I am shooting through a dirty sock. I have a sony cybershot 5.1 mega pixel camera I took (no joke) about 85 pictures Sunday trying to get the hang of it and only 2 were decient and they dont look anything like yours. If there is a trick please let me know.

Also great hitchhiker I got a few clams (small ones) and so far nothing else its been 2 monthes today since I added my rock..

I've kinda always wanted a Bonellid. It would be great for my increasing assortment of worms (and things that are commonly called worms). I think yours may be a Bonellia species.

I didn't say it wasn't. I think there was a misunderstanding--I simply narrowed it down further to the genus level, hence Bonellia.

wow that thing is strange, looks large, like 10 inches? in the pictuere.
