I can't get a good photo of it to save my life, but,
This thing is growing out of a rock It looks like the
Tail of an earth worm but it's translucent red, It
Never moves however it's sticking out of the rock
Just about 3/16th on an inch and it will move if it gets
Touched and grow back to it's normal size, (I did it with
An eye dropper when feeding) it doesn't seem harmful
I'm just curious and I can't find anything that looks like
It yet...

it has no hair on it and it stays in the same spot all the time and it's very smooth..(it never hides all the way in the rock)

I have a few Bristles so I know what they are this thing looks like a part or a nem or something...I'll try to find a photo of something that looks like it, I know it's hard to think about what it might be without seeing at least something...Thanks

it looks something like this...Sorry it's so small I had to crop out a lot,
only thing is mine is a clear red and it's coming out of a rock.

Just guessing but it is probably a filter feeder or somethin like that . has it tried to eat anything in your tank ?

No, I think it's safe, But it has grown since I got that rock
it looks like a Anemone tip, I know we all see things one day
and you never see it again, but this thing is just hanging out
not moving. I just want to know what it's going to be when it
grows up...lol

It would be very cool if it looks like that when it grows up...the tone looks the same but it's very small and looks like just the very tip of an Anemone
growing out of the rock and it never hides...Sorry to make this a guessing game but every time I try to take a pic you can't see it.
