    helloneed a little help here,the only problem is i have no pictures my digital camera isnt that great.i can explain it thought.

    i noticed that in my live sand there is like these clear tube looking things stickin out.then the other thing is on my live rockand the best way to explain it is it looks like robin hoods hat, but at night the front of the hat opens like a crab claw. not sure what these are just wondering

    Pics would be best, but the first one sounds like tube worms. Luna

    That would be my guess as well. Are there two "tenticles" coming out of the tube?

    could be a clam or some type of bi-valve

    is the tube thing made out of your sand?

    Do the tubes move or are they stationary?
