 Topic: identification please
Posted: May 02 2011 at 6:33pm |

I have a new something in my tank that I could use help identifying. I will do the best I can to describe it. I will go with a plumb color, maybe a deep reddish brown. It kinda swirls for a bit at the base, then runs up to a stem. Some where I seen something about a barnacle. Looking online I couldn't find a fair comparison. Anyone have some of these in their tanks, and know what they are?

It could be a feather duster also, both are very common in our tanks.

It wasn't clear whether you were describing this as a thin hard tube with an organism inside and whether it sends out a mucous net to catch it's food and pull it back in.
But if that sounds right then I agree with Steve that it's a Vermitid Snail.

It does appear to be a tube, like I said swirling a bit at the base then standing up a bit.. The first one I discovered was on the clam I got at the fragstock. I now have a couple more in other places. I does appear to have something small protruding from the tip. It kinda resembles a feather duster, but It is very different from those I have in my sump growing from the rock.
