enigma

Somebody can tell me that this is? Has head and mouth that I believe.

 

[CaveManNOhio]

Look's like a peanut worm, maybe. The picture is a little blurry to tell for sure. If it is that's a good thing.

 

[bertoni]

Is the animal in a hard, rock-like shell?

 

[The steven liu]

It's a tube worm. I have a few of those attached to my liverock and clams. They are shy but harmless.

 

[bertoni]

That's what I thought, too.

 

[romunov]

Looks more like a vermetid to me... Although it could also be a polycheate worm.

 

[LeslieH]

Like Romunov said, a vermetid.

 

[bradokc]

But it represents danger or plague? It is ugly has the face the same as a cow and growing in the Rock

Harmless & useful. Vermetids feed by reeling out strings of mucus like a fishing line. Afrer a while they bring the strings in & feed on the plankton & other organic bits that stick to the mucus. Helps keep the water clean if there's enough of them.

 

[romunov]

They can sometimes grow a bit much and can be unsightful. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I kinda like snails.

If overpopulation occurs, manual removal...
