Bristle worm

[lmm1967]

Largest one I've personally found in any of our tanks. Luckily he didn't sting me. Relocated him from the 30 gallon to one of the 120 gallon tanks.

Was almost as big around as my little finger. Most of the ones I see in the tanks are very small compared to this guy.

Considering setting up a trap - not to get rid of them - but just to see how many I can catch and how large I can find.

If the trap does work got pick yourself up a arrow crab. They will eat the worms for you.

Don’t wanna get rid of them. Just like to keep up with what we got in there.

Now imagine finding one the size of your index finger, and finding it by pulling your hand out of a cloudy tank with it wrapped around your middle finger.

My finger looked like it had herpes for about 2 weeks.

BTW, those $3 mechanics gloves at home depot work great. Just basic cloth dipped in PVC for grip.
