Is it holding it or is it attached to it? It looks like a snail operculum.

 

[robmurray77]

It was holding it. And I did find a empty snail shell so makes sence. Thanks for the help

Trying to find and ID for these weird egg looking things on the bottom of some frag plugs. Some are clear some are not. Almost jelly looking.

Hi all, brand new to the hobby and have a question about what is growing on my liverock while my tank is cycling. If anyone could help me ID this, it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

It looks kind of like Briareum IMO. (star polyps) An encrusting Gorgonian is another possibility too though.

Peanut worm of feather duster?

 

[AlSimmons]

Well if it's not wiggling around it's most likely a feather duster or perhaps a Vermetid snail.

 

[muddynwv]

The small white dot on the top does retract when it winces motion.

 

[Sugar Magnolia]

Could be a peanut worm but honestly the picture is pretty rough. Try to get a clearer picture.

Just saw a small white worm on our live rock. Then it went into a small hole and hid, definetely doesn't look like a bristle worm. Can anyone tell me what this might be ? Super worried. Not sure if you can see it but it's in between the chalice and frog spawn

Doesn't have any legs or anything its literally just a white smooth worm.. it looks like it created a small hole in the live rock. I'm new to this hobby only been doing this for 7 months.. so forgive me
