Saw some new critter in the tank tonight

[Engloid]

This thing was about 3/8" long. It was solid white, and was swimming around in the water. It seemed to do a lot more up and down movement than side to side, like fish to. As it moved, it looked like it was spinning, but I know it was likely just the wiggling movement that made it look that way. I could barely see (it moved fast) that it looked like it had a thousand little legs all up and down its body. I tried to get a pic, but it moved too fast.

I'm not very worried about this thing, because when the clowns see it, they will probably want to taste it, even if they do spit it back out. They'll probably kill it if they don't eat it.

Any ideas what it is?

I found the exact same thing a few minutes ago. It's now trapped in my sump until I know if I should kill it or free it

before you kill it, free it or serve it for dinner...take a photo of it and post it here cause...we're curious.

The only camera I have is on my blackberry. With it swimming so fast it just comes out a white blurry noodle looking thing.

I just caught about a half dozen and put them in a vial to take to the LF for an ID tomorrow. I'll let you know what they say.

There now appear to be around 100 "eggs" in the vial now...

lol just noticed the date when this was originally posted. Im assuming it was some type of pod he was seeing... but now curious myself

 

[kypatriot]

Sounds like pods, flatworms, or bristleworms.

Well, since everyone's still interested, google bristleworm epitoke!
