ID this worm

[jaxfishgirl]

I found this nasty on my toadstool. Found 2 actually (i am sure there are more). I tried researching online to figure out what it is, cant find anything. They are spiky looking and about an inch long. Much appreciated
 
sorry for the blurry picture

 
p.s. - i hate this new setup of swf.com =(

Hi,
 
LOL...it is a bristle worm and it's a good guy. I think this is one of those, somebody will answer but nobody did sort of things. What is it exactly that you don't like about the new set up of SWF?

 

[jaxfishgirl]

Oh, well, I took them out lol. They look mean. lol.
 
as far as the new setup goes, it is harder for me to upload pictures. It used to be so easy, now I can't just paste a link I have to do another step. And appearantly I am lazy cause that bothers me, lol. The friend's option is gone, and you have to have your friends follow you on twitter. i HATE twitter with a passion. I liked being able to go to my friends list to send someone a message. now i have to go back and look them up through old threads. I don't know, it's just confusing to me.

LOL...I accepted so many friends but that was all. I said I would be their friend then that was it, they were added to the list and I saw their little icon...like was collecting them or something.

I'm sure you have enough bristle worms. If you don't get an answer fast when you are concerned about a critter it is best to err on the side of caution and get it out.

I really like the new picture upload. I go to my computer and find the pic..double click and it loads right up, nice and big enough to see too. I suppose it’s impossible to please us all. Searching for a link prevented me from allot of uploads of pictures because if I can’t see the picture I don’t know which one I want.

yeah, I took it out and had it in a glass bowl. But since I didn't get an answer quickly, i just dumped it down the drain.

 
I didn't have many friends, lol. But the ones I had I talked to. I will get used to it, I am just crabby this week.

I don't think those are bristle worms. I've never seen any that look like that. Google bristle worms.

There is no doubt that it's a Bristleworm. I do have a doubt that it's a beneficial worm. It has the charastics of on of the very few coral predators. Unfortunately the Genus name is escaping me at the moment. I'll get back when I remember...
