Mystery Squiggly Thing Is Moving!

corrado007 · 01-27-2008, 02:11 PM

I have this white squiggly mini tape worm looking thing in my tank and it was on the overflow a few days ago. Now it has moved to the corner of the tank. The halides aren't on yet but I turned on the actinics to make it glow so you can see it easily. Any ideas what this is?

Thanks,
Justin

Snail eggs. Probably didn't move, they probably just laid more.

Oh, well that's cool. They must be from the Cerith snail I have. I suppose the other eggs I saw days back already hatched or were eaten then. Thanks for the I.D. guys, much appreciated.
