first time for everything

I apologize for the blurry pic. this guy was fast. went down to check on tank mid night and turned on my light only to find a two foot white with what appeared to be brown stripes about 2 mm thick swimming in the water above all rocks. uoon close inspection he had a microscopic head and feom his head to about 2 inches back he sort of vibrated his body as tho to ward me off. it swam just like an eel or water snake and was very curious of me. ive never seen anything like this I hope someone might know

yea for sure, but if i didnt put it in my tank then it would def freak me out to see a 2ft long creature swimming around lol

 

[Krazykarl]

def havent sharted in the tank...around it maybe lol. honestly it was awesome. its body had spikes like a bristle worm. but laid flat until it moved. must have used it to swim. it look like a piece of string swimming. I hooe someone nails the id on this bc I didnt wanna take it out. although I did lose all my zoas recently and an anthias

Can't play the video

 

[Krazykarl]

try using your phone to watch it. its a 3gp file...

 

[reeffreak]

Wow !!! You could be right on a baby eel, I can't see what else it would be, I searched up and down last night and this morning and can't find anything that it can be compared to besides those two eels I sent above. Awesome find, feed that son bitch some shrimp and snag him out, I wanna see some better pics of this guy got me really interested.

 

[Krazykarl]

ive been looking all night and morning for it. ive fed the tank at night to lure it out....nothing. it was honestly the size of a guitar string...im scared to put my hand in my tank now....lol. I been searching all morning. I camt find anything. its bothering me

 

[Poseidon]

Any remote chance it's a bobbit worm? ( I haven't done any research , just throwing it out there)

I highly doubt it's a worm because the way it's free swimming in the water. but take a look at that link, you know what it looks like maybe able to find an ID there. Il be searching all day while I'm in class lol
