It's the only time I had problems with them but darn, that was one of my favorite clam. I also got my fingers full of needles a few times when doing maintenance.

Not that I doubt you but. Maybe it was fire worm?

Here's a picture of the other ones that are in there. Are they fire worms or just bristle worms? New to the hobby, so I'm rather curious
