Help Id this thing for me...THANK YOU

Well I was feeding my tank today and I think I found what ate my clown goby...I have seen these on another thread somewhere but can not remember what they are...please help!

 

I don't know what type it is but it doesn't look like any that are beneficial. Get rid of it ASAP.

 

some type of polycheate (bristleworm). With out a better pic I can't ID it any further but most aren't fish catchers but rather they're caught eating corpses.

 

Try googling Eunicid worms and see if that matches what you have. Either way, I would get rid of it, I dont trust any worm that looks like that even if they are scavengers.

thanks guys, this sucks...i have no way to get it out...it is behind my foam rock wall that is siliconed to the glass...im SOL...gonna have to try to set a trap or something...

 

Like the others suggested, that's no beneficial bristleworm. You'll want to remove it if you can catch or trap it. The eunicids can be real pests as they get larger.

Cheers,

There was a worm found in a large public aquarium that looked similiar and when you touch it your hand feels like it is asleep. not sure if the feeling is temp or not though. the worm i am talking about was posted here several months ago and was 4 foot long and dark brown in color.

 

If that doesn't get him shredding the tank nothing will. LOL:

 

bristle worm of some sorts.. my guess

 

wow. thats huge. good luck.
