sailfinja Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 New to salt water. I have some flesh coloured worms with what looks like little tiny legs (I know they are not legs) all along the body (for some reason I think they may be called bristle worms??) They range in size from 1/2 inch to 5 inches. Does anyone know what they are? What they eat? They don't seem to bother the fish (I have mollies and 2 cleaner gobies).

Parachromis1 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 The are bristleworms, they are harmless. They're always going to be in your tank, they usually thrive when people overfeed and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 They can actually help keep your sand bed turned, and keep it from going anoxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMAX Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I recently discovered a monster in my sandbed, at least 3 to 4" long. He's a bit camera shy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipset Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have one in my 10 gallon about 10" long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
