    See the sand "bridge" sticking up? The tunnel runs through that too!

    There is - or at least was - a spaghetti worm in the tank. I stopped seeing his tentacle-things in the usual place a few days ago. Maybe he's on the move now?

    AAAAND pack leader is the winner! My girlfriend called all exited a minute ago - this is her nano tank - and said sure enough, it was the spaghetti worm in the tunnel.

    BTW, do spaghetti worms occasionally create a geyser-like "barf" from under a rock or whatever?

    She and I have seen this a few times and wondered what was doing it.

    Spaghetti worm. I've got a bunch in my tank and they make some interesting tunnels against the glass. Haven't seen that yet though.

    That is prob. what I have in my 10gal I noticed a pile of sand at the bottom of my tank and thought it was the fish, we had to get rid of the fish ( traded it in at the LFS ) and now the pile is back. Really neat to watch it comes out for a bit then scoots back in. Really cool to watch. Mine is really tiny though. 50JC
