This looks like the same worm!! Just smaller.

If you read it, he tells what kind it is.

He says it's a 'Eunicid worm'

I really think your are right, I was ready to give up, and that's when I decided to save the ones that was still looking half decent, so I broke the frag and found this #(*@^$& worm.
thanks!!!!

No....not a BW, I forget the name, but these worms grow real big.....like 8',10',15' long. They hang out in the drain and return lines. Luna

This particular guy says it was nocturnal, and was hiding in a pvc pipe that was in his tank beneath his LR.

Measured at 7 feet.

Unbelievable.

I doubt this is a Eunicid

It's a polychaete of some sort. Open up the picture again......there are clearly bristles present.

I have edited my post because I was a little strong in my original response. However, this just looks like a normal bristleworm to me. Without a better picture, no one can ever tell. Eunicid's have 5 antennae on their head. I don't see any antennae but that doesn't mean they aren't there.
