GUESS WHAT???

[Sweetpea]

I have a worm in my tank that I never knew was there!!! I was doing a water change and decided to remove the LR to give the sand a good vaccuming. I made a mess in the tank, stirring up the sand when I dropped the vaccum... I decided to stop and just do the water change. I put the rock back, but of course, I couldn't get it back exactly the way I had it. Poor Marlin was all freaked out between the cloudy water and the rock ledge he hung out under moving several inches. I decided to feed him after the water cleared up a bit, just to let him know things were okay. As he ate, I was trying to count my crabs, making sure they all made it back to the tank... and I saw it - a tiny, white crown sticking out of a projection on one of the rocks. I couldn't believe my eyes, but it's real, and it's alive. One of the shrimps bumped it, and it totally retracted into the rock. There doesn't appear to be a tube at all, at least not outside the surface of the rock. When he retracted, I couldn't even see the hole... it's that small! He opened back up just a few seconds later, and now he's just hanging out, little feathers swaying in the return flow from my filter.

Here he is, below the shrimp's tail and to the right of the crab:

These pics are for suggestions on where to place my two (much bigger) dusters that I will be bringing home tomorrow. The filter is to the left of the tank, and the power head is to the right. The power head puts out a stronger current, and there are some nice holes on the top of that rock to stick a worm tube into. The filter return creates a milder flow, and there is a hole next to the baby duster where I could place one of the bigger guys. What do you all think?

Here's the overall scene:

I apologize for the poor quality of the pics... between the cloudiness from my "housekeeping" and the light coming in the window, I couldn't get them any sharper. :(

I would put them someplace that they have good flow going over the crown, other than that I think they will look beautifull.
