Nice Sand Sifting Worms?

[trybry5]

As my new tank begins it's final phase, before a slow restock. I noticed that my DSB (sand bed) had only one hair like tunnel in it.

These tunnels resemble hollow root like partitions in the sand caused by some kind of worm. I could easily mistake them for cracks in the sand bed, but I've seen them in the past (hitchhikers) and I wish I had more.

Does anyone know of a way for me to obtain any?
I also would like to know which of the smaller hair-like worms, that sift sand are called.

No big bristle worms for me, they did a great job stirring the sand and eating leftovers, but weren't very shy or decorative. As far as blending into the background of the tank.

Thanks

The best ways are to obtain samples of sand from other established tanks, "crud" from live rock holding tanks, and collected live sand.

Ok, so is it advisable to ask a Local Aquarium Dealer?
How would I separate the worms from the crud, too?

Thanks, at least I have options, to investigate!

If you are going more for a "true" DSB-type methodology, there's no need to separate :D. Just mix it right in. That's actually partially what I did to jump start my sand bed for my seagrasses.

Wow seagrass, don't get me thinking about that!
