DON'T LOOK - Large Bristle Worm

[Almondsaz]

This morning when I got up and check my tank I found a 6-7 inch bristle worm in the overflow. I knew I had one that was large but I hadn't seen him for a while. The bristles really come out when the worm is moved and starts rolling. Really kind of creepy. I am glad it is out of the system and hope that the only others are the babys in the fuge.

Have to say, it is a reminder that you need to wear gloves in the tank, never know what lurks in the rock.

Ick!

That's a spectacular one. Go ahead and place it back in the tank. It took it a while to get that big--it would be a shame to kill it now.

Too late, it has already been disposed of. I couldn't think of adding that back into the tank - it was way too big for me to be comfortable not knowing where it was when I put my hand in the tank to move a rock - those bristles could do some damage I think.

I'm with you, cruel or not, there's no way that's going INTO my tank.
