union13 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I found a ~2 inch worm which was flat with a pink body and red hairs along it sides in my nanocube. The creature is normally in a rock but I scared it out when I was rearranging my rocks looking for one of clown fish. I have recently lost 2 peppermint shimp without a trace and wonder if the worm has eaten them. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment
Daemonfly Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Sounds like a normal bristleworm, some of the best clean-up critters you can have. http://www.reefcorner.com/images/BristleWorm.jpg If it has 3-4 longer antennae on it's head, then it is most likely one of the uncommon bad worms, and you'd want to get rid of this.

union13 Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 It has no antennae and looks very similar to the picture. Thanks for the help. Link to comment
LVReefer Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Be careful not to touch it. It will leave some nasty "glass like" spinters. Link to comment
