Greetings everyone! I'm brand new to the hobby (Just set up my first tank yesterday), and I need some help identifying a critter.
Here's the setup:
I have a Coralife Biocube 16
CaribSea Arag-Alive Fiji Pink sand
3 dry rocks purchased from LFS (I can't remember the name, but I think it was Ocean Rock or Reef Rock. It came from the ocean I was told)
Filter Floss that came with tank.
I mixed my own water using RO/DI water and Instant Ocean.
Should I be surprised to find hair-thin, reddish worms, about 1/2-inch long clinging to my "dry" rock? I specifically used dry rock because I didn't want any hitchhikers.
From what I've searched online, I'm thinking either bristleworm or peanut worm. They cling to the rock with one end and float in the current in the other.
What are they? And what should I do about them?
Thanks for your help!
