Trivia

This one requires a most specific name than spaghetti worm... I have seen a few species of worms referred to as a "spaghetti worm"... most commonly the Terebellidae... which this is not.

im impressed not a ciliate though although it does look like a free swimmer

 

[ophiura]

Huh...this is Euplotes...seem very similar. The cilia fuse into larger bundles, and it almost walks using them.
This us from a University of North Alabama site
(Google Euplotes ciliate on the images search)

I'll be interested in what you identified them to!

 

[reefreak29]

u are correct

, u took all the fun out of it, i foung it in my skimmer waste
i only knew it by euplotes

 

[reefnut]

Wow, that is an amazing picture... how did you take it?? That's a really cool find... especially from the skimmer waste... too cool.
