Most likely a bristleworm, harmless detritus eaters

yeah id bet its a bristleworm too..i had tons in my 14 gallon tank..they kept it pretty clean...some people try and get them out but they do get rid of a lot of debris and are good food for wrasses...just watch out for your hands..the larger one can hurt if ya get poked...and if u are the allergic type id be extra careful

ive heard of bug ones but the ones in my tank have never gotten larger than an inch or so...if i saw a huge one i may pull it out

Isn't there anything else that would naturally eat them?

Cool thanks.

i showed her a picture of a bristleworm and that was it thanks when she called you would think she saw a ghost lol

They are good for your system so long as they aren't 6 foot long, lol. They only eat dead stuff too. Fishies are fine.
