no pic but a pretty good description of a worm - Aquarium Advice

Jason · 01-14-2005, 09:03 AM

I saw this awesome worm in my tank last night bt didn't have a digital camera to take a pic of it.

anyways, it was black and about 1" then, it spread out like a car antena does (like the inside of its body came out then it would stop and another piece would come out ect. ect.) and was about 3" then a thing that looked kinda like a feather duster came out of it except it had really thick "feathers" and only about 15 of them and they looked like spikes.. oh, and it was black with white teeth feather things.

does anyone have a clue what that thing was, I think it's the coolest thing in my tank that I didn't put in there.

Sounds like a bristle worm of some kind.

Doesn't sound like a eunicid worm...they don't extend from within themselves like that.

I'd go with either a peanut worm or a medusa worm..... leaning towards the medusa though.........
