Bristle Worm

SupaJSK · 07-01-2002, 11:42 PM

What is the largest bristle worm you guys have seen? I saw one in my tank the other day that had to have been more than 1/4 inch wide and around 9 inches long (im not sure because both ends were under rocks, could be more or less). Kind of scary, looked like a huge centipede or something. I tried to grab my camera but didnt want to miss seeing how big this thing was.

I've got a really nice bristleworm, about 1/4" across also, maybe closer to 1/2" across if you count the bristles. It's at least 6 inches -- that's how much I've seen of it, but I've never seen both ends at once to say for sure.

I'll try and get a pic tonight -- it comes out a lot during feedings. I see it at least a few times a week.
