Ive got a question about 2 hitchhikers but how do you post photos? Sorry I'm new to this

cloak · 12/07/2014, 07:23 PM

There should be a "sticky" somewhere that explains how to do this. Try checking the "Photography" forum first.

Does anyone think this is a peanut worm? I guess I'll pitch it to be on the safe side. I was hoping someone could help me id.

You have to have an online place to put your pictures. I use a free account at photobucket. Somehow, following their prompts I set up my cell phone app to automatically backup all my photos to photobucket. When I post here at the top of the message in the little icons there is a yellow one that looks like a mountain photo graph with a sun above it...sort of like a postcard. Click that and it will ask for the url of your photo. Go to photobucket and find your picture and open it. On the right side of the screen there will be several url's. Choose the one that says DIRECT and copy that. Paste the url in the reefcentral box and your photo will appear in your message.

Hope that helps. I don't know another way.

Gosh, I hope not. I don't really have a whole lot going on right now though. If I'm not in the other room fiddling with my tanks or watching TV, I'm sitting in front of this computer. I'll definitely help you out if I can.

Rhygar666 · 12/13/2014, 02:24 PM

i need your help,

i just catched this swimming worm, it was really fast i was just lucky to catch it.
Any idea what this is? is it harmful for my Clown Fish or Snails etc?

cloak · 12/13/2014, 02:41 PM

Polychaete epitoke I believe. (harmless)

Yep.

Shawn O · 12/15/2014, 11:14 AM

Anyone have a guess as to what shesacharmer's worm is? Looks scary and cool at the same time. My first instinct would be to kill it with prejudice.

Sugar Magnolia · 12/15/2014, 12:20 PM

I'd say peanut worm, Sipuncula sp.

chefbill · 12/17/2014, 07:17 PM

right in the center of the picture, is that a mini duster ot hydroid? Should I be concerned?

cloak · 12/17/2014, 07:41 PM

It looks like a harmless feather duster IMO. Does it retract really fast if it's disturbed?

Rhygar666 · 12/19/2014, 01:32 PM

i just noticed this little guy, is that an Asterina SP?
if so it will need to go to my refugium i guess, heard they can be quiet a plague

cloak · 12/19/2014, 01:34 PM

Yeah, Asterina star.

That's a Priapulida.

That could also be a spaghetti worm.

That's a top down view of a mysid shrimp.
