Several times we have seen this spagehtti looking stuff coming out the top of my brain. After a day of so it would go back in. Yesterday, we had a stomatella snail "passing away" about 1" from the brain. At one point I looked into the tank and noticed that it had died. An hour later I looked in again and noticed this stuff coming from the underneath of the brain and wrapped around the body of dead snail. Went by again 1'2 hour later and there was nothing left of the body and the "stuff" was pulling back in. Then....(bare with me) again before turning off the lights, I noticed this stuff coming out in all directions from underneath the brain. The brain itself was not stressed at all. It looked like a big pile of spagehtti. So, because I was so curious after an hour of the lights being off we took a flashlight to the tank and noticed what you see in the picture. You may not be able to tell but the spagehtti appearance seems to be the edge of this clear "skin" like thing.
So, is this some sort of feeder thing (which I am asuming) but have not come across this type of thing before - it is definately not a tenticle becuse it is all one piece. I should also mention that when we turned on the lights this morning it shriveled back up to underneath the brain.
What I am pointing out is the white stuff that is stuck to the glass. This is what I am trying to ID.
