jojo_b Member Jul 30, 2008 #2 Almost looks like a little bristleworm. I leave mine alone, since they haven't eaten anything important and they are detritovores (I think).

mustangcaleb Member Jul 30, 2008 #3 i dont think those are bristle worms. all the bristle worms ive ever seen have been red or pink.
bang guy Moderator Jul 30, 2008 #4 It's a type of Bristleworm called a Cirratulid. The common name is Hair Worm. They are very beneficial for sand beds because they eat detritus both below and above the surface of the sand.
