Worm made of worms,

[HankDean V]

Does anyone know what the F this is?
I sucked it off the side wall when the lights where off,

Not 100% sure but baby bristle worms look like that I think

 

[HankDean V]

I have some videos as well where you can see the individuals squirming about,

Anyone have a clue what the heck this is? Where it may have come from?

 

[HankDean V]

Not 100% sure but baby bristle worms look like that I think

Maybe,
do the baby bristle worms explode outward from within the parent?
I’ve had bristle worms for 15+yr, I’ve never seen this before.

Spaghetti worm?

 

[Coral reefer]

I was thinking spaghetti too

 

[HankDean V]

Spaghetti worm?

Maybe, but I doubt it ,
When I’ve had spaghetti worms in the past they always presented in the sand bed and where clear to white, these fellas are pink
But maybe,

More random clues and questions,

Could this be an internal fish parasitic worm?
I pulled this thing out of my 1gl, that tank HAD 2 black ray gobies and a pistol shrimp, now this tank is empty,,,,,

I’ve had pink spaghetti, but yes also In the sand. The white parts do look like worms I’ve seen fish poop out, but not the rest

For sure, I’ve always seen them in the sand, and not clustered and clumped,
I think I’ve found a few more,,,

For sure it's a spaghetti worm.

 

[HankDean V]

Absolutely, I just had to look up pictures of them out of the sand!
Thanks for the help y’all!
I inspected the little tank a lot and found a few more,
