Millipede ID request

[loungeliz]

Ok, here's my first post...
I noticed this pinkish "worm" looking thing wriggling around in my tank (open water) a couple weeks ago. My "Nemo", promptly put and end to it when it was spotted...
Today I noticed two more wriggling in the open at feeding time. Nemo tested, but did not eat this time. They floated/wriggled around the tank for a while then settled on the glass.
I got a good look at one of them and was surprised to see it was a millipede type of thing (ie. not a worm, it actually has many legs). I attached a picture, sorry not the best for ID but the best I could do. It is about 3/4 inch long and fairly thin.
Any idea what this is?? Is it a harmful parasite that I should be concerned with?
I figured I probably picked them up in my last batch of 15lb of LR from the LFS.

it sounds like a bristle worm, although you dont usually see them when the lights are on

It's a bristle worm, harmless unless you touch it. It'll "sting" you with the hairs on it's side. Good Tank cleaner. And WELCOME to the board

Its hard to tell from your picture but...
does it look like this?
If so, this is a "hermodice carunculata" and is ditinguished by its behavior to be fully active in daylight. They are problematic because they eat carals and soft corals, but can be removed with a pair of tongs or tweezers.
Just in case!!

Thanks for all the help!!! Just found this message board. It's fantastic... I'll definately plan to hang around here more, though I probably can't add much to the knowledge base... so I'll probably just be browsing in the background.
It doesn't look like the fireworm, so sounds like it is a bristle worm... I'll leave them alone.
