Nasty Looking Hitch Hiker Help.

[Jake337]

Found a couple of these long yellow tentacle hitch hikers in my lr. Please help me ID it and see if they're beneficial or bad. I see a couple of long yellow arms poking out of the lr. Every time i try to pick a piece of its tentacle off with a tweezer it goes back inside the rock. Ill attach some pictures of this nasty looking thing. It doesn't look like anything i've ever seen. Has a TON of little yellow tentacles connected to it's body.

[Jake337]

Spaghetti worm. It's saltwater right? It's a good part of CUC.

So this little guy is actually good? I really hope so!! Anyone else have some suggestions?

Spaghetti worm I love mine- good at cleaning surface micro algae.

 

[ktomminello]

they are pretty gross looking though, but when they are in your sand bed or rock all you would possibly see is little hair like catchers

 

[Leonardo7689]

It's good. I got plenty of them. They extend they're tentacles mostly at night. Cool creatures.

 

[Jake337]

Thank you guys for the ID! Now I'm relieved and i don't have to worry about another thing.

 

[ktomminello]

So glad to put your mind at ease!! Good luck with your new creepy pal!!
