That was cool, but what the heck was that?

I took the plundge and bought some Rod's Food. The LFS guy said I should watch and see what happens since things will really go after the food. My new brain coral opened up and I was able to feed him a small silver side too.(clap)

 

What I didn't expect to see, while my eyes were all of an inch away from the tank, was in the sand bed itself. I've noticed a couple of long yellow stringy things in the sand bed and one on my rock yesterday. Today, I realized that something is attached to those things and it went after some of the food. I don't know if they are aiptasia or something else. Any ideas???

 

I'll try and take a picture if people have no idea next time I feed to see if I can get some feedback.

 

Thanks!

Bristle worms? Did they have centipeed looking bodies?

I didn't really see any body other than what seemed to be a milky white that came up to eat what it had caught. Hope that helps?

That seems to be the right thing. Now what? I'm going to may LFS tomorrow, so I'll see what he says too.

 

Thanks for the post and help!!!!!!!!!!
