Odd "Worm" in tank during feeding
This worm like thing (about 1/2" in length) was reaching out from under a rock during feeding today. I took tweezers but only got this much of it (some was left behind, not sure how much). I'm not sure if it is a worm, or maybe was part of the arm of a star. It has very tiny hair-like parts coming off of the sides of it, and continued to move around for 15 minutes after being out of the tank.
Any ideas? |

The "head" end that was it was moving with is actually the smaller end - the left side of the picture.

Looks like a Spaghetti Worm to me, but check out this link for a possible ID.
