Re: need a quick id
Appears to be Eunice worm, Seffie x
Re: need a quick id
Honestly, that thing freaks me out. No clue if it's harmless or not, but I'd advise against releasing them into your tank just yet. You'll have a nightmare trying to round them up again if they turn out to be trouble.
Re: need a quick id
From what I know, Eunice worms are supposed to have these 5 little tentacle-like things coming out of their heads.
Does this worm have segments or not? The pic doesn't seem to show any.

Re: need a quick id
I'm not convinced it's a Eunice worm. Could it be a type of Cucumber instead? I'm no expert, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
I found this link that shows something similar - http/images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...t%3D72%26um%3D1. Not an exact match, but it's worth a look.

Is this the guy? http/www.encyclopedia.com/topic/sea_cucumber.aspx
Re: need a quick id
Looks like it, yeah. Guy who gave 'em to me thought so too, sea cucumber. Still can't find my camera cable, but 100% it's like the 1st pic I posted, defo.copperkit wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 2:28 pm I'm not convinced it's a Eunice worm.

Looks like it, yeah. Guy who gave them to me thought it was a sea cucumber. Still can't find my camera cable, but that first pic I posted is defo the same. That is one ugly looking echinoderm, and you have two of 'em... do you have enough food in your tank for them?
Re: need a quick id
Yeah, looks like it, the guy who gave 'em to me thought it was a sea cucumber too. Still can't find that stupid PLione cable but defo a match with the first pic I posted earlier.
That's one ugly echinoderm, and I've got two of 'em. Got enough food in the tank for 'em, but turns out LFS thinks they're different, not a sea cucumber after all. Still trying to figure out what they are, got 'em in the sump for now.
Re: need a quick id
It's not a "Tiger" sea cuke?
