Bristle Worm

[Herbie]

I really hoped I would never have to see one of these in real life. It's not a fire worm, is it?

uhm yea it kinda looks that way. better pic? pull it out either way you dont need any worm that size

It's just in my LR/mineral fuge so it can't hurt anything, but I don't want to get blasted by it either (spines can come off it, right?)

Lost it now. Guess I'm making a trap tonight. I need to learn to capture first and ask questions later.

I don't know. Looks like a regular bristle worm to me. Just a fat one.

Do you have any soy sauce?

Leave it, they're good guys!

I have a ton of them. The other day I pulled out about 50 in 10 min. They don't do any harm but they sure are ugly.

I'm not a wus or anything, but these give me the herbie jeebies, but I love the bio-diversity and surprise inhabittants we get. I also have a lot of trouble killing anything that I am not willing to eat, so he gets to stay for now. If I get stung it will be tarter sauce for sure.

Charlie it is (but I'm calling him Chuck). He is in a tank with a Majano nem and some aptasia, so it should be a nice little outcast family.

Excellent detritus eaters. Since they usually only come out at night they shouldn't be an eyesore...

LOL, you gave him to me!!! I'm starting to warm up to the disgusting and creepy beast.

i must have hundreds if not thousand of the little guys, very creepy looking but very beneficial. In my reef just throw some food in the tank and watch as they come out of every crevice available.
