not sure what type it is it looks like a huge bloodworm - have you added any plants recently? has it come in with them  

 

[Michelleuk]

a couple of months a go i got new plants.
 
I have been feeding my fish dried bloodworm. Could it come back to life some how?
 
I see the fork in its tail which makes me thing flukes,anchor worm or something.

i wouldn't of thought so it just looks like a sort of enlarged version of one - im no expert but it looks a bit big to be an anchor worm?

ok - they are not harmful are they?

i didnt think they occured naturally in the aquarium but apparently they can if it was one it wont be harmful

any one else have any thoughts.
