Is it a peanut worm? I really am not up on worms. I hope that helps in the right direction anyway. Steve

I think Steve may be correct. Would it be possible to remove it for a better photo? Here are a couple of links: Peanut Worms, Introduction to Sipuncula: The Peanut Worms, Peanut Worm

Are they bad? I will go and look at the sites. Thanks! And I will try and get a better pic.

From what I understand most are not bad. I thinking that one was bad broke a piece of live rock open and killed one, now I feel bad about it. If you have a collection container try to capture it and check it out if you can. Thanks for the photos. Steve

Ya I will go and take a peek at it! It must have come in with the live rock then..cause I sure didnt add it! lol We were all gathered around the tank..going.."eww...wow...what in the world is that...its moving!" lol

So that helps alot...that I know what it is..and from those sites..say they just feed on detritus...dont sound like that they are bad at all.

This forum is great! Fast replies and lots of help !
