    Default Two IDs: Tube Worm thing & Anemone?

    Hi guys...

    I have up for ID these two "things".

    The worm thingy sends out a "slime web", then reels back in whatever he catches and eats it (I guess). It's shell/tube is hard, like a cocoworm.

    The other thing looks like some type of anemone to me. It must have came in as a hitchhiker on something. It's way in the back of my tank. I was able to get a shot of it when I move my Galaxia out of the way. It's foot is what reminds me of anemone.

    Thanks!

    No wonder I couldn't find it on the web.. I was looking for a worm. Do you think it's web o'slime will bug my corals? I don't care about my GSP, but my zoas and blastos are another story!
