This thing was SWIMMING in my tank. It's some sort of worm looking thing.

Hey Robert its Evan(bluetort). I was just reading this post and scrolled down and was like someone stole Roberts screen name!!. Lol but then i saw the FTW Tx.

Scoobs9083 · 08/03/2007, 07:33 PM

umm a pod? really?

It has soft looking hairs on its sides.. It is pink in color and has 2 long antenna on it's head. No legs that i can see

that looks like an epitoke, which is how some bristleworms breed.

Out of everything I have seen that looks more like it than anything. Not a exact match but I think you have something.

take a look at the page about half way down at "The Swarm".

chuck has some nice pics of epitokes there.

Hey Evan, yeah I have the same screen name here. I just don't get on here as much as DFW.

Scoobs9083 · 08/03/2007, 08:49 PM

Oddly enough from what i can see of the Spionid Worm it looks like a exact match

LeslieH · 08/04/2007, 08:57 AM

It's an epitoke but not a spionid. I can't tell what it is but I know spionids don't act like that.

acrodave · 08/04/2007, 11:57 AM

its a juv. bristle worm

LeslieH · 08/04/2007, 12:22 PM

Nope

that kind of shimmy movement is only found in epitokes.
