Reeeeally LONG WORM in a 20 gallon tank

[GoFish]

Nope.....no hairs, bristles, fibers, or WHY. Does anyone actually know?

It is of the bristle/firework family. I know it doesn't have the bristles, but not all of them do. Could potentially be from the eunicid family based on the setmntation and "legs" but I can't really tell from the pic.

+1

But if it bothers you trap it. I'm sure there's more though. Population is dependant on food source.

it "appears" to be the only one as i usually spend about 1/2< hr looking at the tank each night...
I found... this, ....seems to be the closest thing i've found perhaps i will remove it if possible, but itslinks forward and backward really quickly

My friend moved one of his live rock in his sump and later at night he went to check his sump and this is what he found...

I swear I've seen that creature like that in one of my nightmares before.

It is deff not fun seeing something like that while admiring your tank on a Sunday night with a beer in your hand.

I found a HUGE bristleworm in my tank the other night while feeding the fish. It just kept coming and coming out the sand I never thought it would end.

Aliens must have put it there; because my tank is only three months old. LOL kidding.. Musta came from the live rock.

Anyway I took it out with some tweezers, put it in a bowl and scared my husband with it.. lol... I thought about letting it live in the sump but I just wasn't comfortable with that thing tramping around anywhere. It had to die.

RIP alien bristleworm.
