hey everyone been awhile since i last posted,but ihave a ? hope someone can tell me what this is,my tank has fish and LR & inverts, i have had the LR about 6 months,havent gotten anything new for a long time,but i was setting in there watching my fish and this light pink thing that kind of looks like an eel is swimming all over the place,its so fast i cant get a real good look at it but its head looks white,did this thing come out of my LR and what could it be. thanks mrswv1956

thanks for answering me, i was just afraid it might be something that would harm my fish, I only have about 20 Ibs of LR,but i love it,there;s one part on the rock that looks like a clam and it keeps opening up but i cant see what is in there everytime i try to look it shuts up,but its really cool,hopefuly soon maybe i will get to see what it is.
