random pics: gross, bristleworms

[Northvan]

I'm glad someone mentioned bristleworms, I felt silly asking... we have a giant that keeps hitchhiking between our tanks (moved some rock). All our more knowledgeable reef friends insisted we kill it. Ours is about 8 to 10 inches long. I kind of like him. We want to know if he is likely to sting or kill fish? or other inverts? Also, anybody want him? Can email pics or video from about a year ago

No, not likely, if it hasn't already done something obvious, chances are it's a harmless detrivore.

does your worm friend look like this?





If so, I would try to remove it asap...mine ate corals and fish.

I didnt even know I had him till I tore down the tank!
