    What is this spider/monster on the glass?
    My lights were off for about 3 hours before I turned on the moonlights to take a peek. There was one of these critters on the side and one on the front.

    Does anyone know what it is?

    Looks like a spaghetti worm to me. Could be wrong though.

    It's probably a hair worm (cirratulid) as they do not have a permanent tube as the spaghetti worm (terebellid) does and thus is the one usually found on the glass.

    If its a spaghetti, they are very very not happy. They don't leave a perfectly good tube without just cause.
