Worm Hitchhiker

Hey folks,

I've picked up a hitchhiker. This particular creature came in on a chunk of live rock I actually got over ebay. He survived a whole week of shipping in only a "moist" environment. He looks a lot like an earthworm, and is about the same size as one too. He appears to live in tunnels he's made in the rock. Here is the best picture I have at the moment (sorry, bad camera).



Any ideas?

Steve

Re: Worm Hitchhiker

Probably a peanut worm. Good thing to have.

Re: Worm Hitchhiker

Interesting, I had a much smaller worm hichhiker a while ago that I thought was a peanut worm. The previous one is significantly smaller and only comes out at night. It appears to have a rather large mouth at the tip of it's "body", while this new larger one, I have not seen any sign of a mouth yet.

Thoughts? Perhaps just a baby peanut and a grandpa peanut?

Peanut Worm

try this link. I have you on the peanut worm page but it has links to other types of worms if you think that's not what it is.
