Here's a pic of this worm that I've found under a small rock after setting up my new frag tank... Does any know what it is ... Good or bad ??? It's redish orange and black on the middle

Bristle worm. For the most part they are good.

Looks like a bristle worm. Part of your cuc. Ugly and scary looking but good scavenger. Don't touch him you will get a nasty sting from his bristles

Don't beat up on the homeless

I took out 4 big bristle worms from my tank, they came with the sand - one was about 6 or 7 inches long! Have a few small ones - hoped my 6 line would keep them in check but he just looks at them and swims off!

My old watchman goby would eat any bristle worm he found but then again he was kind of an idiot....

Stomatella.


They are a good member to have in your CUC and f**k like Jackrabbits.
