    Strange Hitchhiker

    Today I went down to my local aquarium store and got a medium sized rock that had some sunflower coral on it. I put the rock in the tank and then I noticed this strange thing coming out of the rock. Does anyone know what this might be? I think it’s a worm of some Kind.

    I have had this little guy come with my live rock. The tank has been up and running around 5 to 6 weeks and he’s still here. Very small and timid. If anyone knows what it is I can’t figure this one out.
