    Is this a large Bristle worm

    When taking down my tank (75 gal. reef) due to it leaking (new tank being setup) I was able to get a picture of this worm, that I had only seen from below the tank. Is this a Bristleworm I can leave in my tank when I setup the new tank. He must have been in the tank from the start and never bothered anything. Tank was as a Reef for 3yrs.

    WORM

    I don't believe that is a bristle worm, it almost looks like a night crawler! But it can't be.

    Yes, it looks to be one of the many types of bristleworms.

    But, why would you put it in your new tank when it already broke the other one?

    (!J.K.!)

    I personally would keep it.

    Just put him wherever he says to and talk very, very softly.

    You don't want to make him mad again...

    I'd stir fry it with some garlic, ginger and soy sauce. Serve over rice with some lechies.
