Look what I found...
 
So I was putting a frag into the tank when I looked at my rock and saw a little bristle worm, at least what I thought was a little one. I saw one a few months ago but it was only about 2" long but this one kept on going and going, like there was no end to it so I grabbed my long tweezers and snagged it, not without a fight though. Turns out to be at least 8" long! Guess it was happy eating all the leftovers in the tank.

Here is a pic of it at the bottom of my 5g bucket, gives you an idea of how long that sucker is.

Holy bristle worm batman! I have seen some large bristles but that will probably be the biggest! I am surprised that you got the guy out in one piece.

Throw him in your refugium.
