wazupjames Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just noticed this guy in my tank today he is about 1/2 inch long. Link to comment
carbon-mantis Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 That's the dreaded RED DEATH WORM!!! If you so much as even make it think you see it, it can fire it's deadly, neurotoxin filled, razor barbed stingers out of the water at a distance of over TEN FEET! What's worse? The poison eats through your flesh like acid through calcium, turning your extremities black and dissolving your bones... Nah, it's a bristleworm. Personally I wish I could find a huge fire worm, it would make a cool creature for a species tank, IMO. Link to comment

lakshwadeep Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 It is a fire worm (the large white bristles are one indicator), which is a type of bristle worm. Yours is a harmless scavenger, though you should avoid touching the bristles. Link to comment
