ID - Volcano from creature in sand bed?
Hello,
I have a dsb, and have been seeing something that I am curious about.
There are occassional 'mounds' of sand like a small volcano, about 1 - 2 inches around, rising about 1/2 inch from the sand bed floor. From time to time, in the middle a plume of sand is spiraled out in a long ribbon at the center. it of course is clean and white sand, about 1/8 inch, maybe less in diameter. This continues for some time, days, then it will subside, and the object will move.
I assume it is some type of sand critter, but am curious what it might be. I did see something like a small vent tube this morning, rising about 1/8 inch above the cone of sand. From that the sand is spewing forth from time to time. So I know it is some type of worm. From what I can see I have alot of them in this 120 gal tank. I can see lot's of worms, and other creatures at the glass, and I see worms at night.
Looking forward to understanding what this might be?
