 |  Unknown creature
I found a worm-like creature {no fuzz like a bristleworm}hanging out or in the l/r. It's maroon in color with yellow bands around its body. It appears to be about 2 inches long with a mouth like a bristlebrush  . Any clues?

I'm glad you were joking  I would have done something drastic/stupid like pull the L/R and try and drill the worm out [smiley=rifle.gif] | |

The vast majority of polycheates, worms, are harmless and beneficial.
You'll find a ton of stuff that came with your LR over time in your tank. A good indication that things are healthy. _________ Just tryin to recreate God's perfection in a glass bowl. 20 Gallon Reef W/Live Rock, mated pair of Maroon Clowns, Softies, 110 watts PC 10,000k lighting, and skimmer.  | |

Thanks Craig,
It's amazing..the tanks is going on its 3rd year and I'm still finding sponges and pistachio nut shaped{their shell} filter feeders and such.. Incidently, I uploaded some pics of my tank. I found my name listed on the Photo Gallery but no pics. Does it take awhile to upload or did I do something wrong? | |
