If you keep a reef tank…Do not put that back into the tank…I think It is a centipede looking type of bristle worm that eats coral. They will grow into 8 feet..not inches. I have never seen one that was red before, so I could be wrong..the body shape however is exact, and it isn't two toned in color.

Nope... Its a normal bristle... I have about 3 in my tank like that are 1'+ do a great job at cleaning the sand and eating waste..
Watch out touching those suckers.. Ouch!!
Upon second look.. Kinda looks like Hermodice carunculata
Kill it with fire!!

+1 PM cranberry. See what she thinks, she's my worm expert. lol Then decide what to do with it.

 

[mr.clownfish]

i gave it to my LFS.
i couldnt stand looking at it anymore i was going to throw up.
one of the workers said he was going to throw it in his sump. its going to a better place, sure beats flushing that freak of nature. LOL
you know if it didnt have those dangerous bristles i would have just kept it.

my nightmare is having a crack in my tank.

 

[tang master]

you should preserve it and get it in an acrylic display case.

 

[alix2.0]

i would have kept it. that things been cleaning the hell out of your little 12 gallon.

 

[coral keeper]

I have tons of the exact worms as in the picture. I have one that's 12+ inches long in the 180 gallon. Doesn't bother anything/anyone in the tank, so I let it be.
