hehe, atleast the fat sucker who left all his bristles in my finger!

Was rearranging the rock in our 7 gal today to make the tank ready for the seahorse we're about to buy. While I knew we had a large bristleworm in there, didn't know how large until I found its hiding place under one particular rock. It was freakin' HUGE

I decided to let the creature be as it has never hurt anything in that tank in over 7 months, so I doubt it'll harm anything in the future. Plus, I didn't want to get into any kind of tug of war with it. I'm sure it would have won by stinging me with its bristles, but I'd have then killed a useful hitchhiker for no good reason.

Now if it was a mithrax crab, well, that'd be another story completely

Bristleworms are good for your reef, so leave alone, please
