ID worm

Any ideas?

Bristle worm

It looks like either a Terebellid or Cirratulid worm IMO, both of which are harmless and a great part of your CUC.

EVERYONE seems to have these lately!

Stand corrected couldn't zoom in

Spaghetti worm, harmless but I don't like em so I pluck them out when I see them; otherwise they multiply rather quickly if you feed fish and lps

It's funny how in this hobby "one man's garbage, is another man's gold".

I feed pretty heavy. I haven't seen a bristle worm that orange before. It's probably hard to see but it had a longer mouth/nose/head whatever that might be called. Have you seen a bristle this orange?

Do wrasse fish feed on these? I was surprised moving everything to the new grow out room today when I saw this. Haven't noticed them before.

I'm unfamiliar with the other worm types.

It's a spaghetti/hair worm. Not a bristleworm.

 

[kennedpa]

I understand that. Thanks

Are these worms safe?

Are these worms safe?

In most cases, yes...
