Barlim Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Hello and thank you for reading this. I recently started cycling my first saltwater tank with live rock. While cleaning the rock I found something that looked like a worm, see the pictures below. https://gyazo.com/dffe2d2dfdc52afbbe33b837718c2826 https://gyazo.com/c82e03d553504feec3ded249414b02ac Before I took the second picture I touched it and as you can see it started showing a lot of white hairs. After looking around this forum I believe it is a blue Bristle worm, however I'm not entirely convinced it's not a fire worm. Could someone confirm this for me? I ended up not putting the piece of rock in my tank, however last night I noticed a similar worm in my tank so that's why I'm here asking for help. Besided the worm I also noticed a crab in my tank. https://gyazo.com/afa68f9ae1f39d4e2627c8a5a784d7ef https://gyazo.com/65c5277d40962bb8daf8be00b758f4db https://gyazo.com/b8e222f6a7963e6b4a02954becd1be35 The hairy legs and dark claws make me think it's a Gorilla Crab, however the body of the crab is a mixture of white and dark so I'm not sure. Also hoping someone could help me ID this guy. Again, thank you for reading this and I hope someone can comfirn the identities of these creatures! Quote Link to comment
Barlim Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Anybody have a clue? I'm still uncertain of what to do Quote Link to comment
