What is that?? it's like a slug covered in hundreds of greenish tenticals. It came out of my rock when the lights went out.

Help?


TIA

Looks like some polyp eating nudibranch. They normally mimic what they prey upon. I could be wrong.
Oh yeah, nice zoanthids on the bottom left!

Spagetti worms, the help clean the rock and sand.

At least the thing on the left looks like a spagetti worm, I have no idea about the thing on the left.

Huh?

I about had a heart attack when I saw that thing. OK, so they are ok?

In my humble opinion, if you have any corals that resemble the culprit, they may be in danger. Before you destroy it, I would make sure it is truly undesirable first. This won't be easy, but search out nudibranch photos, ID it , then decide it's fate based upon educated reasons.

Hello Mr fields, LOL



Hippo isnt real, but sooo glad I made that avatar. He's a big guy too huh, lol.

Im pretty sure it's just a spagetti worm. It's been in the tank for awhile , and no issues, so im assuming its ok.

Thanks for the help.

I've got spaghetti worms just like those. They are harmless. They come in other colors, too. I've seen white, yellow, orange and red.
