Interesting worm living in zoo's w/Pix

[m1a1fan]

I'm not sure what kind of worm it is. I've done a search on Bristle and Fire Worms but I don't think that is what this is. It's tan and reddish brown in color and is out during the day. It has five tentacles that extend outward from my zoo colony.

It doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

Thanks all for the help ID'ing this

Here's a pic...

looks like the arms of a brittle star

I agree.

Its segments are different from any bristleworm I've seen. I'd almost suspect there's a brittle-star body hidden in there somewhere...

 

[Mishap]

Looks like a serpant star kind of.

 

[Paintbug]

i would agree with the serpant star. unless you have seen both ends of the worm at the same time.

Looks like a serpent star has hitched a ride on some of your LR.

When I saw the picture I was thinking the same as the others!! Then I thought it was soo funny how everyone after thought the same thing!

All,

Thanks for the info. I did a bit of research and it does look like a brittle star.

It doesn't move anywhere else in the tank, just extends it's tentacles out of the rock of zoo's during the day.

It doesn't seem to be harming anything, though my two True Perc Clowns hang around it a lot.
