    Is this a Bristol worm? I've never seeing one so hairy????

    I was noticing what looked like hair swaying out of the sand the other day, thought it was algae and gave it a suck with the baster I use for feeding and got nothing?

    Then noticed it again few inches over a couple days later and that the hairs don't always flow with the water

    So I decide to give the sand a suck in that spot while I was changing water this morning.

    This is what I found in the bottom of my bucket, I cleaned it up to get a picture, it was in a sand/web blob?

    I'm not aware of any issues with them.

    Most bristle worms are fine as well.
