Just stired up sandbed and saw this guy on the glass along with a couple smaller ones

Hard to see on the pictures but to my eyes one looks like it had little bristles to me

I do have lots of copepods since my tank is currently fallow for disease reasons and they have exploded in population, but it is way bigger than any of them

Sorry for the terrible images as I couldnt change the lights to whiter in time

Never knew I had bristle worms, last livestock (corals) I added was about 2 months ago, maybe some sort of detritis worm?

I might be wrong...but it doesnt look to me like a bristleworm.
I never get them sitting on the glass, always in the sand or under and in the live rock.
Interesting
Yeah I thought that also, I've never seen any on the rock or substrate, only glass
maybe some sort of detritus worm?
