I have a couple worms on the glass of my fuge. A couple are in my cheato. Right now they are about 3/4 of an inch long, with spines. The ends of them are a tan color and the middle is more red. I can't get a pic they are too small to see clearly. I'll try my roommates camera later tonight hopefully.

its a bristle worm, without a pic i cant tell you whether it is safe for you tank or not. this is that bad one, the one that is thin and has maybe some darkares throught it body is okay, it eats detritus. (waste)

Bristle worms. Great scavengers, and they should be of no concern. However, if they get huge or huge in numbers, you are feeding too much. As well, they may sting you if you try to pick them up, so wear gloves if you feel they must go. They are a gopod sign that your tank is healthy and are really beneficial. You should also see them in the main tank. Congrats. Type Bristle worms into the search coloumn, and see what else I did not mention.

They are bristle worms, they are harmless for the most part, and are OK to have. They are scavengers and will eat uneaten,decaying food.

I have a few worms in my tank. I just thought it was odd to have them on the glass. The worms I've seen in the past have been very drab.
