Day 2

I came into work today to check on the tank and do some regular maintence on my other tanks.

The pH was still 8.2 with the Ammonia at 0.12. The rock is still colorful and I some some new life. I found a few hermit crabs crawling around, a few snails and a small feather duster worm sticking up.

From one of the holes on the rock I am getting these long, clear, thin, worm like "tentacles" sticking out. At first I didnt think it was alive, perhaps a trail of snail eggs. However, as I observe them they seem to move with a puropse and are constantly snaking in and out of the hole, sometimes pulling debris with them. Anyone have an idea of what it could be???

Here is a shot of the "tentacles" Look at the hole and the stringy thing coming from it. I know they are alive as they retracted very quickly after I snapped the photo.

I think I will stay later than usual with the lights out tomorrow to explore the tank. Everytime I look at the tank I find something new crawling around!!
