Hello, I'm copy pasting a bit from my tank log:
My Damsel cleared a little tunnel under the rock work, he likes to scoot in and out, under and over the rocks. I thought it was funny and the Wrasse and Clown from time to time did the same. That said, two nights ago after lights out I saw something weird I couldn't identify on the sand bed in the tunnel. It looked like a feather duster or some sort of anemone or something but it was really hard to see, as soon as I took my torch it disappeared. Now I'm not supposed to have anything like that in the sand and the only thing I can think of that makes a star shaped form on the sand bed at night ... is a bobbit worm. It didn't come back after I had put some light on it, so I went to bed and called it a night.
Last night ... I checked again and it was there again. This time I didn't want to leave it hanging and got out the big guns. I got on my gloves and took out the rock under which that tunnel passes. I got a little plastic rake out and shifted through the sand bed, but I couldn't find anything. I pretty much turned over half of the tank's sand without any trace of a worm. I called it a night after 5-10 minutes and decided it was time to put the rock (and corals) back in the tank.
After yesterday's nightly adventure, I checked again this night, and sure as well, it's there again. This time I tried to make a picture instead. My apologies for the quality, it's hard making a picture without flash at night, using just a flashlight.
When I looked closer, I'm counting 10ish tentacles but they don't seem to be hook shaped, like a bobbit worm.
I'm very curious to find out what this is!
