Long Worm in rock????

[tykill]

Just ordered me 45# more live rock, and have just started the curing process. I am very impressed by this shipment of rock with all the life that came with it and the size of the rock it self...I think I got 6 large peices that weighed in at 45#..... any how, I picked one up after a couple of hours to show somebody the size, And when I brought it up out of water, There was a long brown worm hanging out of a small hole. Must of been 4 in hanging out, looked like a regular worm out in the yard. Does anybody know what kind of worm this is?

I had one like that too but I flushed it. Most worms are parasitic or predators so...

Could it be a bristle worm.....never seen one of them.

Tykill,
Bristle worms are very easy to identify. They have thousands of very fine short spines on them. The spines are usually white in color. The remind me of a fuzzy catepillar.

Probably a peanut worm, actually most worms are harmless or beneficial.
