The bad news is as I was celebrating the capture I looked back and saw his twin scooting across the sand. I had him trapped in a small plastic bowl but he got blown out by the current as I was bringing him up :headwallblue:.
The Polyclad Flatworm hunt continues!
I am can't get a photo yet, but thinking I have an odd worm of some sort...
There's what appears to be a single strand of spiderweb that drifts in the water. Hanging from one side of it are numerous single strand 'flags' that measure maybe an eighth of an inch. It seems to be a net to catch debris. On occasion this web gets drawn away. I can't find the critter it's attached to, seems it blends into the live rock or something.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
I'm gonna guess it's harmless...
I've skimmed this thread and searched countless hitchhiker websites and just can't ID this one. Newly cycled Picotope (6 weeks or so). It's dark brown or black, about the size of a grain of rice but round and fat - very similar to a fly pupa. You can see whatever appendages it uses for feeding, no visible legs but I haven't pulled it out. Tank is bare bottom. I saw it for the first time slowing moving last night, still in the same general area this morning when I turned the lights on.
Thanks!
Hi guys/gals may I get some help ID'ing?
This red stuff is cool--it deflates when you come near the tank.
