This was several months ago and could never figure out what it was but it appeared a day or 2 after my scopas tang died. The tang was sick for a couple weeks and nothing I did would help him. I am wondering if this was some kind of parasite that was inside him or if anyone knows what it was/is???? Thanks
I watched it for several minutes and no movement and then came back a few hours later and it didn't move from that spot either... But of course when I went to take it out it was gone.
Roughly how big do you think the diameter is in that photo? I've seen spaghetti worms in public display tanks that can put out a head about that size, but never in a hobby tank. Here's one that, for scale, the head is roughly 1/8" on, but if you could imagine a larger version scaled up, it would look similar. When it pulls the head in it disappears entirely, which is what likely happened when you came back.
Wow that's pretty cool looking. I think ur 100% correct it looked just like this and it was in the very lower corner so the rest must have been buried. Is this reef friendly? Lol I would have been shocked when I were to pull it out and seen everything else that came with it.
99% of the time they're fine. They're filter feeders and their cousins which are similar but usually only have 3-4 long white tentacles are more common.
Parasite???
