Wierd creature? Possibly parasite?
Hi everyone, I was hoping you could help me ID a critter I saw in my tank just recently, though I was unable to get a picture so this may be difficult.
I have had a 29g tank set up for over 7 months now. For LR I have a mixture of Fiji and Tonga. I have a false percula couple, zoanthids, xenias, and mushrooms. Cleanup crew includes a cleaner shrimp, turbo snails, 2 dwarf hermits, lots of nassarius and a few cerith snails.
During a party, a guest pointed out a wierd creature on the front glass. I had never seen this thing before. It had a body and several(5ish?) tentacle like things at one end. Basically it looked something like a clear worm or something that was flat but resembled the shape of an anemone(due to a body + tentacles). It was about the size of a penny when spread out on the glass. I was unable to get a picture because it was only on the glass for a couple of minutes. I'm nervous about putting my hands in the water without gloves because it was unfriendly looking.
I don't think it was a small feather duster though maybe it was something similar. Also, it was unclear to me if it actually got up on the glass under its own power or if current helped it out.
Any ideas as to what it may be? I haven't found a good parasite or hitch hiker gallery yet that included it.
