+KimP Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I've always had these on my rocks, but they're noticeably bigger and more numerous all of a sudden in this section of my tank. Just made me curious what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Are they hard? They look like tube worms, like hard-tube feather dusters. I have small hard-tube feather duster looking critters all over some of my live rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltykid96 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would agree with Gig 'em, but I've never seen ones quite like yours. Kinda creepy Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My guess is a bryozoan, a simple type of filter feeder. I have them on the undersides of my rocks. If not them, then maybe a type of foraminiferan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks for the ideas, I'll look those up. They are really soft and flexible, like hairs and I don't see any kind of fan, but if it had one it would be very very tiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 If it is a bryozoan, an emerald crab will go after them. I not even really sure my emerald crabs eat them but they definitely rip them off the rocks and attempt to shove it in their mouths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Timfish Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think Gig'em and Saltykid96 got it. Here's a close up video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
