Icky Sticky Worms
I previously saw one of these attached to a snail.
After consulting Chuck's Addiction I decided they most closely resembled Medusa Worms and here
I threw it back in. I just retrieved a piece of macro algae and was caught by the icky sticky worms!
Now I am reconsidering.
Are they really medusa worms? Are they supposed to be sticky? Are they really harmless?

I checked on wetwebmedia and found one that looks just like it (towards bottom of the page):

I am still on the fence of whether to put them back in or keep them out. It makes it a total of 3. There might be more anyway. It wouldn't have freaked me out as much had they not been so sticky. That seemed weird. I wonder if small worm like this can eat tiny fish like my pygmy gobies?
