Hey everyone I'm pretty new with reefing and I was hoping to get an id on a worm and advice on putting it in my sump or not.

Thanks, britt

It looks like a small bristle worm. I like having them as part of my CUC. Be careful when handling them bc the bristles can break off in your skin and cause irritation. I'd leave it in your main tank.

I believe that to be a young Fire Worm. It depends on what species it is if you want it in your tank or not.
