Thin White Worm

[jamescameron1]

I noticed a thin white worm this morning when I turned the lights on in my tank. It took off into my live rock as soon as the light was on. Its a thin white worm... maybe slightly thinner than "thin-spaghetti". When it took off it moved like an inchworm. Any ideas?

could be peanut worm. if so they are good.
or spaghetti worm also good.

LOL...I didn't think so either...I also have since A thin white line on my glass....I have not seen it in a while though....it did not appear to have a head or a tail.....it was just a thin white thread looking thing that moved

That's actually another species of the "peanut worm"... hold up... you know I got a picture here somewhere....

 

[meowzer]

I knew you would be able to see it

 

[cranberry]

I do have some really see through ones such as yours.

I guess they could look like an inch worm when they are not moving location but when they they are just moving one part... you know what I mean.

 

[meowzer]

YUP...LOL...I have never seen them except on the glass...they move fairly quick for a worm too...
Are they good....bad??

 

[cranberry]
