Sorry I wasn't able to post the picture right on the board...not sure what this is and it's really killing me to find out lol, what are those 2 strands? They act like tentacles/feelers, and can stretch halfway up the rock and then can be sucked back down to where you don't see anything...I don't see a body or anything, sorry it's hard to get pictures of it, whenever I come up to take a picture it sucks back down. I know it's not the greatest picture, but ANY ideas? Lol, thanks!

Then there are also a few of these growing on our live rock, anyone know what these are? Sorry, my hubby and I are new to the hobby and our rock just finished cycling. We have a conch snail in there, 2 clownfish, and 3 other small snails that go all over the rock.

Hi Janelle!
1st link is an Phyllochaetopterus sp. (harmless)
2nd link I really do not see anything. Perhaps an sponge (sycon sp. ?)

There are actually several families of polychaetes that have 2 feeding palps. Chaetopteridae & Spionidae are the most common in reef tanks. All are harmless detritivores.

Thanks Gerrit and Leslie...so it's like a spaghetti worm? (Thats what the lady at our fish store said it looked like) I just went and looked up the Phyllochaetopterus sp. and that makes sense, it does look like that, just never see any kind of "body" lol, cool! And that second pic of the "sponge" looking thing, could t be a Scypha sponge? Saw it on here:

Lol sorry I sit and stare at our tank a lot, trying to find new lil things and such

Scypha ist not valid. The valid name for this spongegenus is Sycon.
The last link shows a little Aiptasia.

 

[Cuznell]

Really, Aiptasia? Isn't that the bad stuff? Ugh
