I think it's called Sea Hair but It looks like a horse

Reminds me of an early staged lobster:



I'll keep looking but that was my first thought.

sea hair ? or spongebob go mad

I have never seen anything like that. But I am sure someone knows what it is. Maybe some kind of bottom dwelling scavenger.

sea slug definately

Simple. Baby Nessie. Loch Ness is full of 'em.

if you look closely it looks like a small fish but it has two tales...one at the back and one for a head....wierd

At like 18 seconds it looks like it has 4 legs a head and a tail. That is awesome I have not seen anything like that

Yikes! Imagine getting that thing in your bottle o' water!
















Ha!

really weird idk what it is. i do remember seeing this video on animal plante where it was this fish. but it looked like a hair net. lmao!!!

I actually have no clue... Doesn't look like a Sea Hair to me...

Ummm. It looks like 2 gold fish stuck together head to head, but then it couldn't live. I'll talk to some people and then possible have a definative answer in a little while.

Joel.

I think some kind of sea slug also. Some kinds are pretty good swimmers and have arms/fins that they use to swim.

pretty neat,kind of looks like something out of a sci-fi movie,or the show "Surface"

WTH is that!?

Looks like a Sea slug with legs to me, though the way it shakes itself around is pretty weird.

I'm no sea slug

eeewwwwwww........ALIEN

my computer won't let me use flash content, can anyone get pics for me? it would be appreciated, I would like to put my two cents in

It's surely some sort of mollusk.

It does kinda remind me of a sea slug.

I'm so pissed now, I can't find this one little pop up book I had when I was little, it taught you about loads of undersea creatures and not just the usual kind. It even had anglerfish in it (imagine that crap popping up at youi when you're little :-p). But I know that thing was definatly in it because I remember seeing it.

In the book they showed that thing hiding in some wierd yellow sea weed crap because it looked like it.

Yes, I thought it was a goldfish at first and then I changed my mind and thought it was a miniature horse lol.

Very strange

Sea slug, spanish dancer or something similar... I don't think for one minute this is a crypto..

It's so cuuuute!!! It looks like a little horsie wiggling his head and bum, dancin'. I want one Lol

It's clearly a baby headcrab.

Great now you've triggered my gag reflex.

Whatever it is I'm sure it's nothing new.

I did an image search for baby headcrabs and got this.



What do you guys think?

that uglier than that thing in the bottle

its a yellow flatworm.. very showy little marine critters. google flatworm to see how many pretty colors they come in...

It wanted out of that bottle thats for sure! Poor baby sea creature.

^I always used to look at a bottle of tequila and wonder what could be nastier than the worm at the bottom of the bottle....I no longer wonder.

EAT IT!!!! EAT THE WORM!!!! lmao.... Jody ♥

OK, I'm going to sound really thick now but I've never seen a worm in the bottom of a bottom of alcohol over here in England, could you explain the whole worm in the bottle thing? I saw it on Poltergiest II

Also, that creature is amazing, I've never seen anything like that either!!

Yeah, I remember that scene in Poltergiest II, LMAO, that scene should be manditory viewing material for all underage drinkers.

Without getting off topic TOO much, this is what Wiki has to say about Señor Worm:

The "worm" (sometimes more than one) commonly seen in bottles of mezcal is actually the larva of one of two kinds of insects. The most common type is the larva of the agave snout weevil. [1] [2] The "red worm" or gusano rojo is the caterpillar of the Hypopta agavis moth, one of the several kinds of "maguey worm". The worm is found on the agave plant. The originator of this practice was a man named Jacobo Lozano Páez. In 1940, while tasting prepared agave, he and his partner found that the worm changed the taste of the agave. (Agave worms are sometimes found in the piña after harvesting). Many brands contain such worms. Some are named after the worm itself, as in Gusano Rojo and some are even named for unusual use of a worm, e.g. Dos Gusanos, which uses two.

When a worm is included this is known as 'Con Gusano,' which means 'with worm.' Aside from its consumption with mezcal, the maguey worm is considered a delicacy in Mexico and can be found on some restaurant menus.

The use of the worm is exclusive to mezcal, since the Mexican standards authority, NOM, prohibits adding insects or larvae to tequila.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled "Thing at the bottom of a bottle" thread.

I think it's a sea hare. Many sea slugs "swim" around like that.

Oh, haha, sorry for my lack of clarity--I was being sarcastic, a "headcrab" is a fictional creature from the Half-Life videogames. I just thought that critter in the water bottle held a slight resemblance to it.

Again, sorry for any confusion!

that looks like a zombie chicken being ready to get cooked

uhg, THAT, is disgusting

Great, now I feel dumb.

Like many people have already said: seahare(click link).

BINGO!!

Like its been said, its a Sea Hare or a Sea Angel, which are both nudibranchi.

Thanks to my aquarist forum for telling me what it is.

...sigh...

Takes a while to get things across on this site, doesn't it?

NESSIE!!!! It had fins and a long neck.

oh my god, it looks like a little horsey!
