we have a ten gallon tank with about three pounds of live rock. we are new to the saltwater aquarium life and are still learning about everything.
Number One: the other day we picked up one of the rocks and an unidentified object floated out from under it... we pulled it out of the tank and laid it on the table and determined that it was some sort of worm. it was all tangled up so we stretched it out and it was over a foot long! but it was really thin and had little tiny itty bitty legs (like a millipede) but was not segmented... as we were stretching it out on the table, we accidentally cut it in half and it started bleeding (see picture below for worm. if you look in the middle of it, you can kind of see where it bled out)
Number Two: we also found an anenome in our tank on one of our rocks. it is about the size of a dime now. it came up a couple weeks ago but we thought it was a glass anenome so we got a peppermint shrimp to take care of it. well. it seemed as though the shrimp ate it but it came back really quick and now has a stem on it- like a small tree. (see picture below)
can anyone help us with identifying these objects? please? pretty please?
