Please identify
Hi,
I just notice this tiny stationary critter on a shell in my FOWLR tank and have no idea what it is, good,bad. The shell is very close to the glass and is so small I had to use a magnifier in front of my camera phone. Hope the images are clear enough. One picture shows it open, the other is closed. Thanks IMAG0278.jpg IMAG0277.jpg |

Micro Feather Duster, +1
There are the large feather dusters that grow 8"+ long, and then there are the micro feather dusters like yours that stay very small. Beneficial little worm, he'll likely stay in the same spot all his life (if he leaves his tube he'll likely die and just dissapear). That one has nice colors too.
