It looks kind of like Briareum IMO. (star polyps) An encrusting Gorgonian is another possibility too though.

Peanut worm of feather duster?

AlSimmons · 06/05/2018, 02:10 PM

Well if it's not wiggling around it's most likely a feather duster or perhaps a Vermetid snail.

muddynwv · 06/05/2018, 02:45 PM

The small white dot on the top does retract when it winces motion.

Sugar Magnolia · 06/05/2018, 08:12 PM

Could be a peanut worm but honestly the picture is pretty rough. Try to get a clearer picture.

amberly_pena · 06/14/2018, 09:01 PM

Just saw a small white worm on our live rock. Then it went into a small hole and hid, definetely doesn't look like a bristle worm. Can anyone tell me what this might be ? Super worried. Not sure if you can see it but it's in between the chalice and frog spawn

Doesn't have any legs or anything its literally just a white smooth worm.. it looks like it created a small hole in the live rock. I'm new to this hobby only been doing this for 7 months.. so forgive me

Anyone have a guess what this might be? About the size of a pencil eraser. Think it's been there for a few weeks now, hasn't really grown or moved. Looks kind of like if a flat worm grew tiny 'nem tentacles.

GoldenEars · 07/01/2018, 02:37 PM

Can anyone identify this for me?

Syho · 08/22/2018, 07:12 PM

It's about a 1/2 inch from top to bottom and roams the tank moving like a slug

Harmless elysia slug.

NoxMyLumos · 09/13/2018, 06:50 PM

Hey guys! Just two things to identify! I think the first are hydroid jellyfish? They're all over the glass, and I know I've seen a small worm that may be a bristleworm, looked like a tiny millipede with long legs but when I dimmed lights to acclimate something today I saw this coming out of one hole, brittle seastar? Thanks for the input.

Sugar Magnolia · 09/14/2018, 04:16 PM

Yes, hydroid jellies and micro brittle stars.

MNFishGuy · 10/05/2018, 05:11 PM

I bought some chaeto from liveAquaria and a bunch of these hitchhiked into my tank, are they spaghetti worms?

Hydra "worms" their really a type of cuke, if their the same ones in my tank they eat detritus.

Sugar Magnolia · 10/06/2018, 12:53 PM

Yep, they will usually find a hole in the rock with plenty of flow and will catch food as it drifts by.

In case you haven't found an answer, that looks a lot like the little polyps in my tank. I decided they're "Strawberry Anemones". There are good pics of them on Google.

Hard to really tell much from those pictures, but the thing in the center of the picture looks like sponge to me. If I'm obviously wrong somebody chime in!

mickeyfish · 11/04/2018, 09:55 PM

Interesting snail here. Does not appear to have a shell and when extended is almost half an inch long.

Any ideas?

EDIT - I believe it is a Stomatella Snail.

Yes, stomatella snail. Beneficial grazer.
