Movement on Hornwort


Recommended Posts

Hi, I recently went to the LFS that I've had good experiences with and picked up some hornwort and think I might've gotten a few hitch hikers. My main question is about this one. It seems to have a sort of tail that seems kind of like the swimmerets on a dwarf shrimp. I've just noticed it, and can rule out it being current since I don't have a filter (Walstad Aquarium)

Sorry, here are some more pictures:

(The first one has a yellow circle around the source of movement/origional while the red circles represent where something else similar looking is; the second one is unedited)

Update: There seem to be multiple areas where there is movement, but only on the hornwort, it doesn't appear to be able to go from plant to plant, or could it just be some sort of egg waiting to hatch? The other tank inhabitants seem to be happy, my betta made a bubble nest, and three of my rcs have molted. My bladder snails seem to have also grown since I got them last Sunday.

ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED

could it have built its "case" (As according to Wikipedia) out of random detritus that was in the LFS's tank?

I don't know anything about them really, that was just my best guess.
