    Any clue what this thing is. Kind of creeps me out! It's kind of hard to see but it's black on top, white on the bottom, and seems to unfold from inside itself. When it's fully extended what looks like a white filter for feeding comes out. Don't mind the terrible hair algae. We're working on it.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Peanut worm is my 1st guess or Ribbon worm. When that piece of hair algae started moving on the bottom, I am like wow what is that, I have never been startled by GHA. :eek: ;)

    If the gha starts winning try manual removal in buckets of salt water. Giant PIA but it helped me a lot when I went through this.
