something strange in my tank

IMO I don't think you would notice a hydra. They are very small. I'm puzzled too, but I want one, sounds neat!

Here is the pic. Hope it works, it is my first atempt.

Wow..it is odd looking...but cool in a way too. Unfortunetly I don't have a clue as to what that may be but I am going to look it up and see if I can come up with anything. If someone else don't already know. You have me really curious now!

wow dude that's crazy haven't seen anything like it-
it definitely looks like it came from the rock.

can't wait to find out what it is because i can't find it.

it "could" be a decaying peice of food or something that is growing fungi.

Weird lookin'!

It could be a colony of hydra's. When the hairs retract, is it in response to a particle touching them? If so, it's probably not a fungus or some sort of rot.

Is there such a thing as a freshwater anemone?

Hydras are microscopic. That couldnt be it.

You get a million bonus points! :) I think we're all puzzled on this one, for sure. Definitely keep us updated on this thing. We're all interested in what it does.
