I found this worm in my reef tank he is hiding in my LR i don't have a camera  so i have to get my Bros to try to post a pic. i  hope that i can snap a shot!(i am not a great shot when it comes to my aquarium)
The worm is gray  about the thickness of a pencil and is about 3"+,at one end of it has what looks like (the feeders of a sea apple or a yellow sea cucumber)still haven't seen the other end yet! no legs or other appendages that i can see..
does any one know of a web site or good book that i could reference to?

Thanks for the help!!! ;)

Peanut worms are reef safe, and are very common, so they are nothing to worry about.
