I took a look at that I.D. thread sticky and am still confused at what this critter is. Can anyone help? Is this a spaghetti worm? a spionid worm?

Isn't it a hydra?

I don't know...

The picture is of a spaghetti worm. I have posted links to good pictures of spionid worms and also hydra. Also, just so you know Hydra are actually a freshwater species, but there are cousins that are marine such as Fire Coral. Hope this helps.
