Bristley character...

[Stuart Skelton]

Ok... So I have had a few issues with livestock being attacked and killed, my LFS gave me a couple of ideas, one a Bristle worm and two a rogue crab, both possibly brought in on my live rock.

This morning my wife spotted a 3" Bristle worm in the tank... Tweezers out, gloved up, critter bagged and tagged... Luckily it waited until it got in to the tub to split up.

It was a great opportunity to try out my new Nikkor 105 f2.8 Macro lens

Keep alive for better ID.

Perhaps throw it in a little water and take a couple more shots?
