    So I found this weird looking think inside a small hole in one of my rocks and I have no clue what it is. At first I thought it was some sort of a snail with two antennas. I checked the next day and it was in the same spot and has not moved at all and I know think it's some sort feather duster. Any help in letting me know what it is would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's got sort of a pink eye on the feathers.....possibly a coco worm. Like the others said though, definitely has a duster type head. Touch it just barely and see if it retracts quickly. If so then it's a duster or other worm type. If so then congrats, you got a good hiker.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I wish I could get a better pick but it is real small and in a very small crevis in my rocks. I can't really touch it either because it is in the corner of the tank in a rock. Checked at some pics for a coco worm and it does look similar too it but still too small for me to be 100%. Will keep an eye out on it though.

    Thanks
