Ooooh ya! There's a bunch of em. This one's the biggest. I got this rock from a friend who was moving. Came with purple star polyps (purple stuff on the rock of which polyps come out of it) and I'm afraid one very very big bristle worm.

Why are you afraid of the bristle worm, it's like a bee, if you don't bother it, it won't bother you.

Bristle worms are great Detravores and benificial to the tank. They are part of your clean up crew

Cause I only have an 8g and it's like 5+" long!!! I'm afraid he's gonna eat my new fish. To say nothing of the smaller ones I've see too.

the only way it will eat your fish or anything else is if it is already dead if anything a fish will make a meal out of the worm

I think it's funny when they get scared & "suck" themselves back into their homes.

MIZ!!!

you wanna see some cool stuff.... take a flashlight and shine it in your tank about an hour after the lights are out.... then you will see some critters!!!

If you use a light with a red lens it works best as the little creatures in your tank will not notice it and run away. Lights with red lenses are easily gotten for cheap at your local military surplus store.

WOOT WOOT! I don't know what the heck it is but it sure is freaky looking!!! I saw it going up the glass last night. It's sort of looks like a clam and a snail combined! It's white and moves like an inch worm. It has a hard shell, yes I touched it!!

Sounds a little like a stomatella. this is a good site for hitchhikers both good and bad, but most we find are good.
