What is this fish?!

[Elitehunter1]

I found this in my tank this morning! Help? It's a long transparent fish.

 

[herp_mommy]

no idea, but that's pretty freaky

 

[Elitehunter1]

The question is where the [moderator edit] did he come from!? That's a pretty big hitch hiker. I put in four new pieces of live rock the other day but they weren't very large. Also they were almost dry when I got them.

 

[ShadoeFox]

Freaky but kinda neat. Thats one [moderator edit] of a hitch hiker

 

[Pstarkey35]

Kinda looks like a worm to me. Is that SW? Maybe a Bristle worm from the live rock.

 

[ShadoeFox]

I dont know. It looks like it had a skeletal system.

 

[hiltymj]

Definitely is not a bristle worm. Ha it kind of looks like a baby dragon goby. But those are brackish and wouldn't be on live rock

 

[Big-j]

It looks like a species of pearlfish, there are several subspecies but the most well known lives inside of sea cucumbers look up pearlfish on the Internet an see if you agree with me

 

[alLexX]

that is a pretty awesome hitchhiker

 

[nxb161]

very neat, can you take any better pictures of it for us?

 

[Elitehunter1]

It is a SW tank, it looks very similar to some pearlfish I looked up. Check out better pictures...

 

[ShadoeFox]

Looks like he's liking the new digs

That's pretty sweet! Is that a platy(molly?) in a SW tank? I know they are brackish but I didn't know they could handle full SW

hes talking about the clear eel like one

 

[Elitehunter1]

Yes it is a Mollie. I originally put him in there when I started my tank, assuming they wouldn't make it. They were acclimated to SW at my lfs when I bought them.

And yes I was actually talking about the long transparent one.

Yes I was aware of that, I was just curious about the molly in the SW. I have no idea about hitchhikers so I left that to the experts. I should have been more clear!

With the better picture I'm almost sure that it is a pearlfish congratulations its a very cool little fish

 

[huma-huma]

I'm jealous! Everyone else gets lil snails and crabs and stuff ...he gets some cool fish as a hh...

 

[carey]
