This critter is in my soon to be sister-in-law's 55 gal. It looks kind of like a bristle worm but is shorter and fatter. It's also green. She says it stays mostly in the same spot of the tank on the sand bed. she notices it about 3 weeks ago. Any Ideas? I have found nothing like it on the links here or on the web.
Pictures are from my phone... Sorry they are bad. I'll try to get better ones next time I go over there.

Hmm... Can't really tell from the pics, it may be a green bristle worm... or a jalapeno :D

[JimD]

I wouldnt even venture a guess with that pic, gonna need a better one. Is it plant or animal?

[Mr Cob]

dude, someone dropped a green bean into her tank.

Is this tank located in a kitchen by any chance? If it is , then i have to agree with Sean and Rob.:lauging:

[txav8r]

Lol! Thanks guys!
Yeah. I know the pics are bad. She is supposed to be sending me better pictures. These pictures look worse than they did in photobucket. Guess I should have previewed it. Live and learn.

i had a tube worm who poped out when i got it and it looked like that ...

[justahobby]

Did you ever find out? Was it a green bean?

[txav8r]

LOL! I never got back over to her house to take a better picture.
It was some kind of green bristle worm. It had bristles but was much shorter than a regular bristle worm.

Maybe it was a bristle worm. The sharp edge looks as if it had been chopped in two pieces. This website calls the Green Leaf Worm

I must be having ID withdrawals :nailbiting:

[txav8r]

That might be it! As I recall it was about an inch long and and about as fat as a... err... ummm..... green bean. LOL

Maybe it went through a powerhead or something.

No kidding! You pulled this one up from way back.

[justahobby]

I'm trying to get help, honest! I figure if I ever graduate college, I can convince people to pay me for it :angel:

[justahobby]

So yeah, I wish I could trade out some boring reds for green worms

[txav8r]

No joke! That green one you posted was kind of cool looking.

[justahobby]

Or purple.......
