I woke up this morning, did my normal routine and decided to feed my corals which I hardly do anymore.... I noticed my temp dropped to 72 degrees, so it was time to turn on the house AC, which I didnt want to do cause I like the cold but my tanks dont, problem fixed..... So as I am feeding with a flash light to make sure all the acans get some mysis I noticed this hanging out from under the LR....

yeah just a brittle or serpent. By the way: have you considered tank heaters? Seems cheaper to pop a heater in the tank than heat the whole house lol

Just saw a couple in my 38 last night, I just figured they were some some type of beneficial worm.
