pardon my nosy clownfish (who just happens to love cameras).....
can anyone enlighten me on what this tube-like structure protruding from my sandbed is?
ive seen it before but i think my emerald crab mows it down when it gets too high. but this one is untouched and keeps growing. ive never seen anything come out of it.
thanks

thanks for the suggestions

i haven't seen anything come out of it.
i thought it might be a spaghetti worm, but i'm not sure what to look for.

either way, should I hold a concern for this worm as to whether it is harmful or good to my tank?
