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?

 

Sounds like the Hubber Sonic Banded Fish eating worm to me.
[smiley=LolLolLolLol.gif] Just joking ya know.I have no idea what it is. [smiley=idea2.gif]

 

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.

 

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?

 

chances are you will never id everything you find in your tank but thats part of the fun finding stuff

 

Your pictures look great Pipe_Organ!

 

I used to have fresh water{another lifetime ago} and nothing against fresh water I learned a great deal but salt water, well there's no comparison...

Thanks Craig, it took me awahile to upload but it's nice to be part of the gallery.

 

Wow, I just noticed I moved up one notch on the 3 Reef evolutionary chain.... ;D
