Please to meet you, hope you guess my name! Sorry I couldn't help myself.


(Hard to see they're tiny)

So i have a few of these guys on the glass of my fuge, the closest ID i could find is Nereid worm. I haven't seen any in my DT but I'm sure it's only a matter of time if they aren't in there already. Does anyone else have them in their tanks? And more importantly are they reef safe? Thanks for any help.

Are you talking about that little white thingy that is kinda V shaped? It almost looks like a baby bristle with the tiny little legs?

I hope it's not a Nereid worm!!! nereid worm | Tumblr

Shall we call it Lucifer? And puzzle at the nature of its game?

Luckily after a closer look I'm positive its a Dorvilleidae; and I've read they are "Very common and poses no real threat". What worried me about them is that they have a set of pincher looking jaw ( almost bobbit-ish), but it turns out they are algae eaters.

Why yes, and I think he's in need of some restraint. So if you meet him have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste. Use all your well learned politics, or he'll lay your soul to waste.
