Identification?

[jasonlwrig]

I was arranging my rockwork in a different way when I saw this worm sneaking out from a larger piece. It look segmented and was about 1.5 inches long.
Can anyone identify it?

i think thats a bristleworm, theyre ok little but if they get big they can become pests

when they are little you can think of them as part of your clean up crew. I had a snail die once and i saw the bristle worm crawl over to it and start eating it with the crabs. Just don't let it get big.

agreed they are good when small but once big watch out. i pulled a 6" plus out of my tank

All in all they're just scavengers feeding on whatever is around. They'll eat left over food and detritus for that matter. I wouldn't be worried in the least. Even when they get 6in or so, they're not going to take down anything remotely healthy in terms of fish or inverts.
