10 inch bristleworm.

[lamonte]

I have found a 10 to 11 inch bristleworm in my sand bed. I know they are beneficial to the sand, just wondering how big is to big. I have a 240 gl reef tank.

Mine is about that size... I would say it's a large if we talking about t-shirts.

No fish missing, I'll just leave him alone.

 

[addocdreefer]

do you have any pics? observed any interesting behavior or have you just recently noticed it?

I would put it back, but I am weird like that. I would probably name it and laminate a picture of him then hang it on the stand

 

[darklcd]

Steve Weast had a BEASTLY one in his giant tank. Maybe 3 feet.
Actually, now that I think about it, I think it was a eunice worm. Or whatever it's called.

 

[darklcd]

[Boomer]

There have been some pics a few feet long :lol:

HEY...i want royalties off of that worm pic of mine!!!!!!!! lol

1/2 of zero is probably zero though huh??

heres a little guy i found a couple of weeks ago in a new colony of zoas....that had been in my tank for a month. Note...that blue part on her butt ended up being she was pregnant. dropped a few hundred eggs in the container i was taking pics of her in. good thing i got her out. I believe steveW's worm mentioned earlier was SEVEN feet long.

Steve Weast's Worm Incedent

 

[spongebob lover]

i had a worm that was about 10"- 12" and something long (i think it was a fire worm but don't remember)... when i finally decided to get it out, it took some serious screaming out of me :lol: to get it out .
it was gross ( my husband helped too :lol: ) .l
to me if it's that long i wouldn't trust it

 

[billaweed]

Can any of these worms bite you? There is a few different kinds arent there?

 

[darklcd]

will someone please tell me if they are a bad thing I have never ran into them before

There is a reason they are called bristleworm.
