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.

It sounds like a spaghetti worm which is harmless. BTW, did you once live in a cave in France? ------------- Jon https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6y_EzjI_ljbIwf2n5uNzTw" rel="nofollow - What I've been doing... |

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 |
