I need help ID'ing this. I read in here were it might e a tube anemone but I think the tenticles are too long; they can reach almost a quater of the way acros my 6 foot tank!

Thanks in advance and sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum; just don't know were else to go.

wow.. no idea. guess the only thing I can tell you is to just keep an eye on your corals and if it looks like any of them start to die then take that rock out.

got it - spagetti worm.

looked those up.. I think I had one in my old tank, it only had a couple tenicles thought. Mine would only come out at night too.. and as soon as a light came on would whip back into its hole.

I had one of those in my tank for a while, but my sixline eventually got him. mine seemed to be a harmless detritivore, picked up any mess, passed it along it's tentacles, into it's tube and ate it. I saw it's tentacles on my corals numerous times and it never seemed to really bother them. Cool little critter

THANK GOD!!! I never thought I'd pick up a hitchiker that would be so unique AND good for the tank....I was thinking of ways to destroy the bugger but it now seems to have a place to call its own...I just hope the tentacles grow with the size of the tank, that is, I don't want them to get to be 10 feet long (read that on the link). Then IT would be the main attraction in the tank instead of the corals.
