moves kinda squiggly ...usually isnt straight like the pic ...although its straight right now and about half the size of the pic at the moment
...how bout the spider looking thing too!

 

[dv3]

all those little white stingy things are also attached to the glass . its not dust or dirt it inside the tank

 

[dv3]

the spider thing im talking about is at about 7 o clock from the center of the worm there is also lots of those in there

 

[jenglish]

the spider looking things look like they might be micro brittle stars, generally a good detritovore. The worm..... well, the only worms I have had were much shorter and wider... I think a planarian actually. I'm afraid I can't really tell you what the worm-looking thing is. Well I could make something up if it makes you feel better :arg: but I don't think that would really help:rotflmao:

 

[dv3]

why would these miny brittle stars suddenly my migrated to my glass over the last day?
there are probably atleast hundred on the glass

 

[dv3]

anyone?

 

[Fat Tony]

the spider like things appear to be possibly hydroids in their medusa stage.

 

[dv3]

i was just looking at that possiblity (hydroids) they wil just go away on there own right?
how bout the wormy guy?

 

[Geoff]

i also think that the spider things are hydroids. fairly common when new LR is introduced to a tank.

i am going out on a limb and saying the worm is some kind of polychaete worm. i am betting if you knock it off the glass is swims around in helical swimming manner. i think these are usually out at night though.

G~

 

[Fat Tony]

yes, hydroids go away on their own, not sure about the wormy guy.. not something i have seen before.

 

[Loverotties]

Have no clue?Does the worm thing move around alot?And I don't see the spider,but that sounds like maybe a brittlestar?

 

[dv3]

the worm doesnt move around alot but he spnet almost all day (daylight) yesterday moving around the front glass but is gone now ...hope he didnt jump out ...eww

 

[icebear]

i have those hydroids too.

i hope they aren't harming anything in my tank and i won't know 'till its too late.

It looks a lot like something I saw in the sex ed classes in high school.

 

[dv3]
