Default Worm looking thing

I have had this worm looking thing in my tank for about a month and i think it has reproduced...I see tons of them on top of my rock now. They look like they have white spikes and are pink, none more than a half inch big. They have hitchhiked my live rock. I would like to know if they are good or bad???...I keep corals so are they any threat???...


^tube worm still in one piece^


^just caught that one before it went under the rock those thigs are fast when they get scared^(my peppermint shrimp just molted)

Default Re: Worm looking thing

looks like a bristle worm, and by the looks of that one I think it is one of the ok ones. The ones that are red with white bristles are the ones you really want out of you tank, i may be wrong but im pretty sure
