alright well i have a couple of un-identified people in my tank right now.

i have no pictures sadly

im hoping someone can help me out, or atleast point me in the direction of that website that everyone uses.

the 1st one looks just like a worm. no legs or anything and it is completely clear

2nd like the 1st looks just like a worm. no legs but it has clear sections then black sections and so on and so forth throughout its entire body.(this one seems to retract in sections. normally retracts until its just black sections. then when it moves you can see the clear ones.)

3rd same as others only unlike #2 its entire body is black.

i realize these are vague descriptions. i just didnt really know how else to describe them

this site is great

www.melevsreef.com

particularily the id pages:

BTW
the site map is a good place to start on his web site.

sounds like you've got some worms.

without images, it's really hard to give any better ID than that.

there arent very many worms on that site unless im looking in the wrong place

if i had to choose from the ones there it would be peanut worm for #3

and possibly #2

but #1 isnt scared of light and it seems to be molting every night. since there are shells scattered all around the rock they are in

would pics of the shells help?

If you could borrow someones cellphone and take a picture it would really help us identify what you have
