what is it?

[m3drver]

Got this hitchhiker with some LR I got from DR foster&smith. It poked out while i was setting the rocks in place and has since retreated back into its hole in the LR. I hasn't come out completely since i took this pic ( camera shy i guess) but it looks like its still alive since it does somewhat start to come out but never makes it past the opening in the rock. I can just barely see it in the hole moving in and out at certain times.



sorry about the bad pic, the water was still settling after placing the LR
Any ideas?

thanks

I've checked that site out before. the only thing I can see that somewhat resembles the pic is a Peanut worm...

Thanks for the link anyway..

Reminds me of the find the bird pics my Gramma used to take..

Could you have circled waldo?

tube worm? what do you think guys?

priapulid worm. If it's the thing dead center of the pic. Just a guess judging by it's resemblance.

 

[m3drver]

its a peanut worm. And yes its the thing in the center of the pic. I have quite a few in the tank. All came on the rocks. That pic was just after i placed the rocks in the tank.
