I just noticed this morning a 4 inch long clear eel looking creature. It must of hitchiked along with my saltwaterfish order yesterday. If I had to take my best guess at it i would say it is a baby eel, but i am not sure. Any ideas if it is good or bad would be appreciated. As soon as I ccan find my adaptor i willl load up a pic.

Good deal, the fact that you have been on here a year and the clear description you gave has me scratching my head, and you also didnt note any brush looking things on its side or else I would say bristle worm. I am assuming you know what bristle worms are so now I am anxious to see pics

still searching for my adaptor.-- but it is definately a type of fish or eel.- it has silver inside of its clear body, and can definately make out a mouth and possibly gills, but no fins

I was googling clear eels, clear worms, baby eels, anything I could think of and that pic was the only thing I found... Except for one clearish thing called a "detritus worm"
