Hey guys, I have seen a couple of these pink and purple catterpillar looking things in my tankfor quite some time now. I never thought anything of it until last night I saw one that was several inches long and had some girth to it, are they bad for the tank or does anyone have any clue of what I'm talking about??? I will try to get some pics of it soon.

Try a search on "Bristleworm" and see if you can find a matching picture.

yup, i saw a post with the exact same looking thing in my tank, it was proclaimed to be a bristleworm, they sell traps for them?? Or should I even bother to get them out...

They're keepers.... beneficial clean up crew members.
