    Okay so I found a hitch hiker that actually kinda creeps me out. I dont know why but i really dont like it. It is living in tubes under my polyp rock. These long clear tentacles come out of the tubes and feel around, grab things and pull them back in. The tubes are pretty small but the tentacles have stretched out about 3-4 inches outside the tubes. I tried taking a few pictures but its hard to see them, watch the video to understand what im talking about a little better.

    I believe they are spionid worms and as mentioned are safe and a good part of your CUC.
