By the look of the picture compared to what I have seen, it is most likely a Vermitid snail. Please realize that identification cannot be made by just looking at the tube. In order to go further, we would need to know what comes out of the tube. Smile

Disneymania may have thought it was one of the "bad parasites" the LFS warned about so may have removed and destroyed it. Did the LFS describe these parasites?

For what it's worth, please try to understand that 99% of the types of things we find in our tanks is not bad. But I will go even further to say that 99% are not simply harmless, but are actually a good and necessary part of the living environment of our little slice of the sea. That other 1% helps keep the 99 in line. Big smile

I can say with 100% confidence that the invertebrate that lives in that tube is not a bad parasite. Big smile

I don't think it is a Vermitid snail or a Feather duster worm by the look of the picture Mark, I still have no idea what it is Jeremy sorry buddy. ]]> Sun, 08 Aug 2010 01:02:05 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42598&PID=370878&title=what-is-this#370878 <![CDATA[What is this? : It is either a Vermitid snail...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=42598&PID=370089&title=what-is-this#370089 Author: Mark Peterson

It is either a Vermitid snail or a Feather Duster Worm. Both are good. No worries mate. Smile
