Well something ate my feather duster worm, one of the smaller species. My mandarin or the fire fish did not seem like lilkey suspects, neither were the 7 lazy scarlet hermits or the sexy shrimp. So, I decided to grab the flashlight and take a look late at night.
There is defintly a population of bristle worms in the tank, could they be to blame? The thing that caught my eye were several small aptasia looking creatures that were there which not there during the day. Are aptasia noctural? They are popping up out of that sand bed. I can see 5, none on the rocks. Always in the same place and no I don't have a picture. What ever they are they don't seem to be afraid of the light, I have been waving the flashlight at them like a maniac and they don't budge. I wonder if its some kind of worm head? I have a 5 inch sand bed so I know there is plenty of room for something like that. Or are they aptasia? I guess the name of this post should have been "are aptasia nocturnal".
