"worm coral" was too weird to pass up

[Fishguy]

Found this one at Jay's recently.
googling worm + coral yields all the coral worms and none of the worm corals, been trying to find some info on it.

This is it's daytime state, colors in pic kind of bumped up because lens filter.


Open/nocturnal they all orient with the water flow.
close and lay back down within minutes of the dim morning light levels turning on.


was too odd to pass up.

Those look like snake polyps.

Aurora Snake Polyps

These oddball Snake Polyps (Isaurus tuberculatus) are something you rarely see offered in the hobby. A nocturnal animal, these trunk shaped polyps open to reveal feathery ends similar in appearance to a Dendro. This variety has a pink, green, and tan coloration making them much more appealing...

Yes! I was totally using the wrong cylindrical animal in my googling.

Snake pylops sounds far more dangerous and cool.
thanks!

nice to have info, feeling better with it.

I was worried they were only able to feed at night and I had to add some feeding, but they're photosynthetic! also seemingly rare and decent colored.

If you like this kind of stuff, I think you will also like the coco worms. It comes out all day and night once it's used to the tank. Have mine for about 3 months now.
I wouldn’t mind having a tank full of them.

those are neat, I had a feather duster worm a long time ago.. and a clownfish that would host in it.

this tank, just 5 gallons so most feathery worms would become the largest organism in the tank
