Worms
« on: November 21, 2009, 23:23:05 »
I think they're worms.
Sorry no pictures.

They build tubes in the sand and have a single long tentacle that comes out and waves around.
They are about a couple of mm in width and maybe a cm in length.
Should I worry?

no sounds like feather dusters.  Also called tube worms.  Good things

Their tubes are similar size to the tube worms.  But do they start off with just a single "tentacle?"

No, if they just have a single tentacle they're a different type of worm but still nothing to worry about.

if it is a single web like tentacle it could be vermetid snails

I'm pretty sure they are not vermetid.  I've had those and I don't recall a tentacle with them.  They gave out more of a webbing.  These definitely have a long white arm
