dsquared Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I found this guy hanging out at the bottom of the tank. Can anybody I.D.? It looks like some type of worm that was sensitive to the light. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks like some kind of worm that's sensitive to light I don't know what it is but Ive seen several over the years, I would consider it either harmless or a benificial "cryptic" animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bige Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 How do you know he's sensitive? Idk what it is exactly but I have one similar and it can stretch over a foot long. So I grab it and pull it out and it shrunk to the thickness of a finger nail. So for a parlor trick like that I allowed it to stay. Doesn't seem to bother anything.

ckyuv Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I used to have these in my other tank, they are super hard to grab and i left them. I had 3 and they never seemed to bother anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 How do you know he's sensitive? . . . I was a bit facetious, the ones I've seen seemed more like they would react to any sudden changes to light levels or water currents that just to bright light per se. Still don't know what family, genus or species it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Looks like of like a sipunculida worm to me, but from what I have read they don't move a whole lot, so maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
