They should put a sticky on this one so it would stay on the top of the page. This is going to be a big help to new people. I guess Becky's not all bad. She has a sweet side to. Becky

that was a really good website becky. i need to take a pic of these things growing out of the sand/coral bed. i am almost positive they are some type of worm, but i have looked at pictures of bristleworms and nothing matches up. they are really thin, sorta redish brown looking(i am color blind by the way) and they have what look like lil black dots every so often in them. i saw a large group of them and sorta dug at the sand bed and they were all intertwined at the base. i got an arrow crab to help out just in case they are bristle worms but just wondering if anyone knows what they are, at least until i can get a good picture.

I just went over it again and still think they should put a sticky on it. The guy I just seen seems to be a bristle worm but he did not have that much color, more grayish is there more then one color?

That was great, I think it also may have helped me find a bugger in my tank, I think I have a CHITONS but hes all white...

Thanks for that may have solved one of my tanks no name buggers..

Without a pic, it is hard to tell. I would have to guess speghetti worm.
