Never seen this

Look at what it’s doing now, like a freakin alien
So it gets weirder and weirder this creature I posted what it was looking like last night and then this morning I was shocked to see that the head or whatever it was became detached from the rest of his body(at least that’s what it looks like) but it’s still alive and moving
The tentacles that were spread out and moving are still there(on detached head) are still on it. And this weird looking bone like structure is also attached to it
WTF //what is this thing

Just looked up sea cucumber life cycle and found that if you pick up or bother a sea cucumber, it will squirt water from its rear hole, and it may even eject its innards. This is a defense mechanism that sea cucumbers use to protect themselves from predators.
 
So an alien that looks like a turd, that throws up its guts to defend itself, and lets a fish live in its butt.... sounds like you have all the makings for a 1980’s B horror movie.
 
Ye

yeah I just saw a video also but still don’t know what the heck the bone teeth looking thing is all about
I mean he basically spit out his head.,, yet it’s still Alive and looks as normal as he did day I got him/her
 
It’s
@Paulie 069 i was reading more about it and read that it has teeth at the ass
it’s definitely left field, I’m gonna keep it in my 10gal tank,,, when I was reading about them with things living in their butt it reminded me of sea Turtles.
Did you know that All Sea Turtles have
Ass crabs
They are bout size of fiddler crabs,, and they eat the turtle poop and anal parasites
Every sea turtle has them (usually 3-4)
I’ve seen it first hand out in ocean while working
