There are a few different versions of bristle worms. This is one.

I have a few of those in my tank too, along with the standard orange ones.

Look here:

Ah, OK Hogfan!

AGrayCrane, it's a bristleworm, I have a ton just like it.

AGreyCrane · 04/26/2013, 05:55 PM

Alright, another one for ya. I noticed it earlier today all expanded out. Looked for it again this evening and it looks like it shrunk back down again.

It sure does, I went back and saw yours. Thanks for the confirmation!

AGreyCrane · 04/27/2013, 12:48 PM

Ok, last one for a while I promise! This time it kinda feels like looking at the loch ness monster. This worm was very long, I was barely able to get a picture before he went back into the rock though. Is this a this thing looked wider and less "fuzzy" than my current bristlworms. Is it a euclid worm? I did not see the head so I don't know if it has the tentacles *sigh*

Wiscofish · 04/27/2013, 08:07 PM

Found this guy today. Wondering what it is?

li_newb · 04/27/2013, 09:46 PM

so i just bought a small piece of live rock. have all base rock and near the end of my cycle. the first two pictures are of a ~inch long translucent tentacle that comes out of a hole to filter feed? and retracts when i shine the light on it.

the second set is a weird one. i had a piece of rock on top of the live and saw something moving. then i picked it up and this fell out. its tubular with one end having a black appearance on the inside. i don't know if its dead or not because its not really moving and the current just took it when it fell out.

SushiGirl · 04/28/2013, 12:29 AM

The first could be a harmless spionid worm, they usualy have 2 tentacles, the last looks like a dead peanut worm maybe. Some stuff is really hard to tell on the phone, blurry when I zoom in.

starrme · 04/28/2013, 01:40 AM

I've noticed a mushroom like item growing on my LR--it has a stalk and a lined top. My tank is less than a month old and is just finishing its cycle. This thing is growing even under these poor new-tank conditions.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and expertise.

Looks like dead coral skeletons to me.

starrme · 04/29/2013, 07:02 AM

Well, they have definitely gotten bigger over time so I'm thinking something alive.

Sugar Magnolia · 04/29/2013, 10:35 AM

It's hard to tell from the picture...does it have a hard skeleton? Or is it soft?

maresapc · 04/29/2013, 07:39 PM

ok so there's this critter in my tank that comes out only when one of my snails dies and basically eats it. it's yellow-ish and pretty long. should i be worried or....?

SushiGirl · 04/29/2013, 07:45 PM

That's not much info. Is it shaped like a worm? Is it flat? Does it have claws? Is it a fish? Give us more clues LOL.

worm5406 · 04/30/2013, 08:47 PM

Here you go Sushi... It is flushed...

I found it attached to one of my SPS's.

Sugar Magnolia · 05/01/2013, 05:01 AM

^^^ Aeolid nudibranch ^^^

AGreyCrane · 05/01/2013, 06:38 PM

White and brown "fuzz" in the tank? This is largely isoloated to one rock in my tank.

SushiGirl · 05/01/2013, 07:04 PM

That's sponge in the pic.

Bck2hobby · 05/01/2013, 09:10 PM

what is this thing .. sphaeromotid or cirolanid or none =)

incoming bad pics

SushiGirl · 05/01/2013, 09:23 PM

Awfully long for Sphaeromotid. Never had the other but I thought they were shorter. Too many dfferent varieties out there!

Bck2hobby · 05/01/2013, 09:25 PM

trying to upload more pics but my phone seems to going on the fritz
