Worm ID help
« on: March 30, 2009, 01:06:06 »
Ok,

So I'm on vacation and what do I do? I spend most of my time looking at the tank and I was up doing a crab patrol (I have a grollia crab that I need to catch) and I spot this green worm looking thing in my rock.  It's kinda flat with a white band at the head.  I did a search and I think its a ribbon worm. 

Since I don't like to take chances I carefully remove the rock (luckly its on one that I can remove pretty easily) and I take a hammer to it.  This thing when stretched out was like 6-7 inches long.  I poked it with a spoon and it broke apart.  Don't know what it was but its not staying in my reef.

  Sorry for the blury picture but its the best I could do.

Cool looking.  I've never seen one so I don't have a clue.

Try a google image search for Emplectonema gracile.  See how that compares.
