telsonman Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 My peppermint shrimp was messing with this hole in some live rock all day. I finally saw him pull some worm out of a hole next to it. I've never seen any worms before in my rock. Today changed that. I'm thinking it was a bristle worm. Hopefully it wasn't a feather duster out of its tube. Granted I've never seen one here before.

telsonman Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 It was about 2 inches long, and kept discharging this hairy type slime. At first I thought it was slime from my hammer, but when I saw him pull it out, it starting sliming. The shrimp just kept balling him up and trying to eat him. I went to be shortly thereafter after seeing the end of the worm in his mouth. Link to comment
RIP Sebastian Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Just a bristleworm. Harmless. They actually help keep the sanbed clean. Link to comment
Mariaface Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 what exactly are you feeding your peppermint shrimp that makes it think a bristle worm is a nice alternative? Link to comment
