Please log in for more thread options Hey gang,
still running the tank, starting to actually get someplace. Algae
issues have gone away, livestock is thriving, tons of corraline algae
etc. good stuff all around..now I'm hitting around 10 months of this
thing up and running and am seeing some odd things in the tank...the one
that seems strangest and as such makes me want to ask what the hell it
is...its a long, skinny, worm looking thing, with coloration similar to
that of a snowflake eel (white-ish with brown splotches). it is VERY
thin and very long. My wife said she saw what looked to be its head,
and that it had sortof filamentous hair like growths coming out of it,
that it could suck in, or push out at will.
I know it's not much to go on but...any idea what this thing could be???
