    I am going to try to remove it today, if I can find it again. Luckily my tank is fairly small and there is only a few pieces of rock. I was going to add my CPR today, so I will put it in there for the time being. Ron Schimek suggested it be a sea cuke or something, but I will have to get better pictures when I isolate it.

    I can say that from what I observed, the mouth parts are definitely hard to identify, but it looks like it has whiskers in the oral region. I wlso saw what appeared to be primitive eyes, like black spots that were more of a light sensor than anything.

    The rock was obtained from Reefsavers here in Houston because they were dismantling a 700 gallon SPS tank, of which the rock was mostly from Florida.

    I will update soon....

    So far, the only thing that I can find online that resembles this creature is a scale worm, or polynoid.

    It didn't look like it had retractable tusks, just whiskers at best.
