OK, yesterday we saw the weirdest creature in out tank. I tried to photograph it but my cheap-o digital camera refused to focus on this little thing therefore I will atttempt to describe.
about 1/2 inch long, very slender crawling up the side of the tank. It was sort of a greenish yellow going into more of a yellowish green. It looked skinny & wormlike with tenicles on it's back. The tenicles were very slender & appeared to change length. Sometimes they moved a lot & other times not really much at all. The front end almost had a pointy nose that would get shorter & fatter as the bosdy moved forward, then the nose would lengthen again & the body would follow. All the time the tenicles are waving around, sometimes in almost a wad on the side of the tank & other times stretched & separated all over the place. I saw no eyes & it didn't look like a nudibranch either. Don't know where it came from or how long it has been around.
I do have something in my sandbed & a few in zoo colonies that has these long, stringy tenicles that it sends out from the middle but I don't know what the middle looks like because it is always hidden. I almost wonder if this was one of "those things" in search of a new home.
Ideas?
Thanks,
