I'm not exactly sure if the pic is the same worm that I latter saw going ape &*($ and swimming all over the tank in a spastic manner...

 

So this may be two worm identifications...

The second shot is of the worm after the swim.. but it hit the sand and crawled in so quick I didn't have time for a good shot

Top is a bristleworm (not predatory), bottom is a peanut worm, stretched out long. Both are harmless, and great detritivores. Didn't watch the video, but I know what you're talking about. I've had it happen; sometimes a bristle worm just goes nuts and starts swimming around insanely for awhile. It'd be interesting to know why...Maybe no reason.

 

Watched the video, and it's hard to even tell what kind of worm it is...

I have no idea what stars in that video...almost looks like a really big flatworm! I like the way he flattens out right at the end...;)

Thk's for the updates :)

 

I've just never seen a worm go spastic like that, I've had worms from day 1 and didn't worry about it until I saw that X)
