wook1e Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 From what I can find, I believe this is a bristleworm. I’m just having a tough time identifying if this is a beneficial addition or a detriment to the tank. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photo, it poked its head out quickly when I had the pump and power head off for feeding. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Bristleworm, super beneficial to your tank, just don't touch them bare handed. 1 Quote Link to comment

rough eye Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 in the days before dry rock i'm pretty sure every marine tank had those bristleworms. you could have them in a tank for years before ever seeing one. in nearly 6 months i've only seen one of them only one time in my current tank.

My rock all came uncured from the keys and I don't think a single one came in, and I was like wtf I actually want them! 1 Quote Link to comment
