Okay so I went to the beach today and I got the idea to take some ocean water and sand and a bundle of mussles form the water and put in a used powerade bottle. So I went over to look at it a minute ago and I found this!!! Anyone know what it is??? It's the moving brown thing in the video (yes i know my camera is awful) From what I can see, it looks to be around 6 inches when fully extended The red circles in the pic are where the main visible parts of his body are really sorry if the pics are terribly unclear

Look at the video and pic

jeez this worm thing is going NUTS while it's dark... I've been shining a flashlight in there once in a while to see what he's up too... he's really light sensitive though. I knew bringing home ocean water was a good idea

Not planning to put it in your tank are you? Lots of bacteria you don't want. Cant help with the worm. Try doing a search on saltwater worms.

Ew... I did as I was told and on the 3rd google search page that came up it described a Tubifex Worm. So I google image searched Tubifex Worm and sure enough, it's what I got. Ugly little thing with a weird way of life if you ask me... Apparently they clump together in grapefruit sized balls... that sure sounds like fun

Thanks for suggesting the search!
