Today I was cleaning out my Hob filters that are filled with live rubble and some other filteration units.. I found a nice long bristle worm in there and it scared the hell out of me.. anyone else have something like this happen?

I've heard horror stories of large bristle worms wrapping themselves around a persons arm during tank maintenance. Talk about startling and a pain.

I went out and purchased new aquarium gloves lol.. honestly I've never been so frightened.. It was a shock suprise to see a 6 inch bristle worm reaching for my fingers.
Of course I put it back in the tank though lol go figure eh :)
