Hopefully I'll get a picture later today.

I have a curious little critter that previouly had been behaving quite benignly, but seems to have killed a small group of zoos.  It emanates from a few small openings in a piece of LR.  It's basically just numerous very long yellow/orange hairlike tentacles that actively sweep and crawl along the substrate.

Here's my dramatic reenactment pending photo.  Any possible ID help.  I figure eradication should be no different than with other pests.

That is awesome!  I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a drawing like that.  I'm going to save that picture.

Cool looking zoos. I don't usually care for them

It sounds like a spaghetti worm which is harmless.

BTW, did you once live in a cave in France?

The real picture doesn't look as good compressed.  I guess it could be harmless but my zoos were fine yesterday prior to contact and today look like the bottom pic.

I found a pic online titled "Is this a spaghetti worm?" without an answer.  If so this is what I have- that and the question of what happened to the zoos?

That is a spaghetti worm.  I'm not sure what happened to your zoos.

zoos look like something did a number over on them, but it wasn't that worm.  I have those living in the rocks with my zoos and they've never bothered them...
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing
