Help ID a couple things

neondriver · 03-15-2008, 08:28 PM

i have a few new things in my tank that were never noticed before.

1st is a weird one, ive seen it once and never again its a worm about 3" long and a good size with thorny looking spikes throught its entire length. it went into the live rock and i only saw it late night by chance

2nd, is these things running all over my live rock that look likr shrimp with legs about 3mm ad are everyehere now. they also are leaving/making a white trail like a tube on my live rock, its hard to eplain and think once my camera decides to work a picture will help alot.

#1 No clue... I hope it is not a Eunicid worm. Check out this site and see if any look similar: Polychaete Annelid Identification, or “You Can Always Tell A Bristle Worm… by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph.D. - Reefkeeping.com

#2 sound like pods.

number one might be a bristle worm but number two i would think were pods except for the fact that they leave a trail ive never seen pods leave a trail

Is the white part hard to the touch?

Could be a fan worm making the tube, and you just see the pods runnig around.
