What is this?

[Amducat]

This literally just appeared in our tank. What is it?

 

[Reeffanman]

Is it hard of soft ?

 

[Ryleyman]

Looks like a type of parasite worm

 

[Ryleyman]

Like heart worm but I don't know who that would be in your tank

 

[Crystal A]

Spaghetti worm? It's gross looking.

 

[Amducat]

It was soft like spaghetti. We took it out. The tank is only three months old and just has some small fish in it. Mostly damsels and some starfish, crabs. The only relatively new thing is a sea hare. Could it be from that?

 

[Crystal A]

Do you have kids and have you fed the spaghetti lately? Lol

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

I was gonna ask if you had a sea hare! It's eggs. My sea hare just laid those a few days ago.

 

[AbsoluteFaye]

Just google "sea hare eggs" and you'll see tons of pics just like yours.

Thanks! I feel relieved to know what it was.

 

[Crystal A]

Man I won't be getting a sea hate if that's the eggs. Creepy looking mass.

 

[Crystal A]

Just googled it. Wow that is some kinda weird. Glad you were able to help the op out.

I was actually excited to see it because I knew what it was immediately! Haha. Wish you'd have kept them in. I'm anxiously awaiting to see what mine do.
