what is this?

[green wrasse]

The worm looking thing in the middle towards the bottom.
It has a snail head and never comes out of the "cocoon" and it has spider web consistency stuff attached to the rocks around it.
Good or bad???
thanks

It looks like a peanut worm, but I couldn't tell for sure without a clearer pic.

vermitid snail.,..it's harmless, but if you don't like the stringy stuff, just crush it with a knife.

 

[Joe69]

That's wild how you got that from that pic, but your right. I've heard they bother clams. Is this correct Eric?

 

[COreefer]

yeah they can cause some irritation in clams. I always pop them off or bust them with a knife to be on the safe side.

Joe the pic isn't very clear but between the description and the image in the pic I was able to determine what it is.

 

[green wrasse]

ho

hopefully this is clearer
I think it is thanks for your help

He meant that all we see is a red X instead of the image.

 

[green wrasse]

why would that be should I load the image again

 

[green wrasse]

I think I pasted the wrong thing hopefully this works

They use the webs to catch and reel-in minute food particles (mainly detritis). If you're concerned about its impact to the clam, kill it. I have a number of them in my tank, but none directly contacting my clams with their webs. They've never caused a problem, so I just let them be.

 

[green wrasse]

Cool thanks I have no clams it's just an old clam shell that my blenny live in

 

[Crit21]

I think they're cool. I'd leave it alone.
