    Wow!!! Thank god it's in QT. I picked it up to move for 5g water change. Bottom had worms on it. 4-5 fell off. A slug fell off. And I can see 6 things that look like centipedes. What are those? I haven't purchased any meds. Based on worms and centipedes what is best.

    I think bristleworms are okay to have. They are a good addition to clean up crew IMO. Not all hitch hikers are bad.
