    Hello all, I noticed these small striped filaments coming out from under a rock I've never seen before. I turned over the rock and saw what looked like an orange "foot" come poking out and feeling around. Anyone?

    Welcome to 3reef.

    Looks like it could be a spaghetti worm.

    You can an image to compare it with below and other common worms.

    I have a few pieces of that same rock, it is very hard to keep detritus out of and is home to lots of things that eat it. Can't tell by the picture though. good luck!
