Strange Unidentified Worm

Tubes that come out of their mouths? Yuk!

Hard to say. (Sand sifting stars need big tanks or they starve and fall apart like mine did and others. Craig said he got his to eat mysis though. But it also killed and ate his wrasse that was sleeping in the sand.   )


Anyway, that's a big freaking worm. That would freak me out too.

 

By the way...I've seen the tubes that come out of his mouth...as he ate one of my tube worms (as I watched helplessly)...yes it was YUK! I've never seen anything like it and I hope I never do again.

 

Does anybody know where I can find any information about a potato worm?? I've checked everywhere I know and can find nothing.

 

Tubulanus polymorphus ?
