    Friend or Foe?

    Saw this little critter in the tank today and caught him since I wasn't sure what he was. Anyone know what it may be and if it is harmless? Someone suggested a sea cucumber, but not sure.

    could be, but to me it looks more like a bristle worm which aren't really beneficial to your tank(can sting your fish), not sure though just a guess

    Not a bristle worm, (which by the way are VERY helpful scavengers) it does look like a cuke of some sort, but I can't give you a + ID.

    Looks pretty fat so i'll guess closer to a cuke than a bristleworm.
