worms, worms, worms... what is this one?

So in some clustered barnacles I picked up recently, I found this lil guy. When stretched out was almost 2" with a bluish sheen. What is it?

sure looks like a bristle worm to me. I have dozens in my 240G system.

(Now this would all make sense as YOU PICKED UP THOSE BARNACLE PCS FROM ME!!!!!! Sorry, I did not connect the dots at first glance!)

Hahahahahah, lol. Most of the bristle worms in my tank are the pink to tan colors, wasn't sure on the blue tint! BTW those barnicles look great. Gives good hiding spots.

Interesting. I would be good to hear from others about that blue tint version.

I dont mean to be the bearer of bad news but I have read of the blue ones being a little more aggressive.. Releasing their bristles easier and competing for food. Good luck man.

this should probably be moved to Leslie's forum.
