Yet another ID question, with yet another worm.
While removing my old DSB (I’ve changed to a Remote DSB) I found another worm that I’ve never seen before, and some small white clams. The worm is about a foot long and builds a soft tunnel under the sand like a feather duster but translucent. It is about 1/4” diameter with a cream colored body and tuffs of brown spaced along both sides that look like clusters of hairs. I’m sure it’s bad for my tank, because EVERYTHING I’ve ever found as a hitchhiker has turned out to be classified as an evil serial killer.
I also found some small white clams. The largest was about ¼ inch and they move about using a white tubular foot that seems to big to fit in the shell but does. I’m sure these cute little guys are killers too.
Any assistance appreciated!
