Anyone have any idea what this is? I occasionally find them in my reef tank at night swimming in the water column. I thought it was a bristle worm but was told no by the LFS.
 
Is it red? Looks a little a spaghetti worm but never seen them swimming freely.

Ya when it stopped moving that’s what it looks like. OP, don’t give it anymore coffee!
 
Thanks. They always look that excited. So I shouldn’t be using coffee grounds as filter media? lol.

This guy may know what it is. LOL!
 
(It looks as if one of his pet-worms escaped.)
 
Looks like a typical bristleworm epitoke to me but that’s just a guess
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
