Lamprea???

[smithce79]

Today I found this in my tank. I move it to the sump because I dont know what is it.

My wife told me it looks like a "lamprea"

Any idea what could it be? Is reef safe?

Def some kind of lamprey or parasite, I would kill that thing ASAP as who know what it is but it has a sucker mouth that's typically found on parasites that drill into the flesh or cut into it and drain the blood from the host

If you want to, you can look close at it mouth and see of you can see teeth. Small and in a a circlet pattern, like te suction cup on a octopus.

Looks to be a worm IMO.

It's not a lamprey. It's a worm. The sump is a good place for it.
