    Another worm?

    OK, I'm guessing this one is a bristle worm. I'm a little vague on the whole good guy, bad guy thing.

    Thanks again in advance,
    Tom

    Not too clear of a pic, but I put my visor on and it looks like a bristle worm. A good guy. Many people are afraid that they are fire worms, but the likelyhood of that is very small. BW will help keep your tank clean and I personally find that they are quite beautiful when they grow larger as mine seem to have irredescent shades of gray, pink and blue.

    Iron, did you resize the pic? I could of swore it looked different a little while ago. Maybe I'm going senile in my old age too!

    bristle-worm a great detrivore and scavenger of leftover food harmless unless you touch by accident then you'll get a slight rash and be itchy but nothing to bad like touching a cactus.
