Two IDs: Tube Worm thing & Anemone?

[thefishgirl]

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!

the second looks like a spaghetti type worm not sure on the first one

Isn;t there a snail that lives in those empty tubes. I forget the ID right now but it will come to me.

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!

They don;t seem to hurt SPS, not sure about others

So, I think I have an ID on my "anemone"... it's an ANEMONE!

Thalassianthus Aster

I believe based on the other pictures I've seen that this is what I have. Thank you Deb Berlin for finding that needle in a haystack! Sounds like it can be nasty if it decides to go on a walkabout.

The vermetid snails are more a PITA making the corals look bad with a spider web across them. I usually put a dab of Instant glue in the hole to seal it up and kill the snail.

never had the snails cause any issues for me with my corals and havn't even seen them since I added the 6line wrass and scooterblenny

couldnt realy see anything in the first pic though other then the kenya tree

Google "curly Q anenome" I can't tell from the pics but it looks like that might be your ID.
