Creepy tenticle

Aaarrrggg · 03/06/2007, 08:33 PM

I just saw a creepy tentacle drag a hermit crab molt into a hole!

The tentacle was clearish... a bit like an Aiptasia tentacle, but I donâ€™t think it wasâ€¦ just one and pretty long.

Does anyone know what it is? Is it safe? I donâ€™t want it dragging my lil fish in there! *shudders*

(sorry for no photo...too little to capture)

I sure hope it was not a Noseeumiseatafishimus.

I would say it's a worm. Probably harmless. If it's as small as you indicate, I wouldn't think it could hurt any of your fish.

sorry for the joke...But like zoomfish1 said, Probably some type of worm. Just keep an eye on it.

It could be a type of worm like everyone else said.
