Pooping Rock.

[Rosseau]

About as live as "live" rock gets.... This long one came out of my rock today....


I can't see what made it, any ideas?


it must be pretty big....

Amateurs... it's quite obviously a poopicus maximus turbo worm... you know, native to the red sea???? sheesh do some research.

[sophia101]

Sheesh have you ever heard of a bigginer before? The guy had a question..you dont have to be rude. Maybe try to help them instead of critizing them. I am sure you were a bigginer at one point and asked these type of questions.

It is a tube worm, Rosseau. :)

rosseau, keep asking questions if you have them. though certain people may be impatient, it's really unclear why the heck they don't take the obvious option of moving on to a new post rather than taking the time to make an unneeded hostile and sarcastic comment.

[Rosseau]

Thanks guys.

"doing research" includes asking questions. Also, part of the value of forums like these are that other people read and learn by observing other people's questions. nsreefer I hope you're joking..

I'm not sure if nsreefer is joking or not. Considering just hours before I tried helping him out with his idea to use halogen lights in a pico....

"Every day that goes by I become more convinced that a mandatory selective breeding program should be introduced for humans."

-Would he be selected?

[fishes2889]

I think he was kidding guys....

rosseau i have never seen that before, is it new live rock?

[BruiseAndy]

Dont think there was anything hostile in the remark just being funny, You could put out some bait and watch with a flashlight with red lens at night to see if you see anything.

[Rosseau]

the rock is a few months old.. and had been curing for a long time at the store.


it sort of dropped out of the rock and sat in a coil for a long time... it has since left


I know I have a few smaller worms, but i've never seen one like that... i think in the end it was about 3" long

[Rosseau]

would a worm like that be most active at night?

[kingfisher62]

I am guessing it might be a peanut worm!Definitely check it out with a penlight at night . It is amazing what you will see!

[LittlePuff]

Looks like sea cucumber poo to me.

[nsreefer]

sorry, i was absolutely joking... i thought the poopicus maximus would give it away..... that's what sucks about the internet... you can't hear someone's tone of voice, or tell when they're laughing... and no, i would not be selected for the human breeding program i'm far too much of a jerk :D

[Rosseau]

It's all good!

My generation loves the instant messaging a lot, msn etc.. and that has caused more than enough confusion in my experience.


A girl I was seeing once thought I was breaking up with her because of the grey interpretive area of it all...... Little did she know I was waiting until Monday to do it... :)

[Rosseau]

Well the "worm" is still on the sandbed. It's poop, as I had first suspected.

The animal that made it I saw last night and that is definately a type of worm. Very dark in color, black mostly and much bigger/thicker than the rest of the worms in my rock. As is expected seeing as it managed to make a pile that big.

[Rosseau]

Anyone know a good worm ID page with pics?

[kingfisher62]

I still stand by my first guess, a peanut worm! Try an image search on that!

He was laying out a joke and it was not meant to be mean spirited at all. It was actually pretty dang funny
