I've never seen this before..

Not the bristle worm, I've seen more than a few in my tank... but never has one pulled the nori feeder off of the magnet. Bris-zilla

do you have a serpent star?

 

[Jesse Sunday]

Not in this tank. But in my biocube there is a fat and happy one along with a ton of bristles too.

Curious what made you ask though?

my first thought when i saw that arm i guess!

 

[Jesse Sunday]

Ohhh, ha, no... that was just one of my CuC. I'm guessing he was stretched about 9" out of his hole. I imagine he had another few inches anchored back in his burrow so he could retract quickly if needed.

Or, as in this case, leverage to pull off the Nori feeder. :P

They're honestly not that bad! They do a good job cleaning up and keeping things in order. They even self-regulate, i.e,. if I overfeed, they replicate... if I don't, they decrease in numbers.

I think everyone should show more love for the lowly (even if ugly) bristleworm. ;)

Oh, I have plenty of them! It's just the 12 foot long ones that I find the stuff of nightmares!
