When i was eating breakfast my girlfriend called me to our tank and said she had found yet another weird inhabitant and that it looked like a worm or a snake after looking for a few minutes and not seeing what she was talking about i caught a glimpse. Just briefly because as soon as it sees any bit of light it jolts back in its hole very quick. So I charged our camera left the light off put my flash on and got these pictures of it. I have looked at the id sites that I saw on michigan reefers the sites had so many types I could not tell so im hoping someone can help.

You kinda got look a little hard to notice them at first
