So I'm in the beginning of my cycle....have some LR, LS and base rock. As I was staring at the rocks (my new pasttime) I saw this thing that looked like a caterpiller! It was red and black (mostly red) maybe 1/2" long. I only saw him once! Anyone know what it is?

Probably a bristle worm. A good detrivore that will help to keep the tank clean.
Kind of like this?

The edges are not always white, but normaly they are govered with spines which are white and pack quite a punch. these little guys eat detritus are are beneficial to a healthy tank.
