madsalt Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 So I while I was looking over mytank today I noticed this little critter (pic attached), I believe he is a type of bristle worm. Is he good or bad? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 +1 but don't handle it. The bristles will break off in your skin and are irritating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Monnat Jr Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That looks exactly like the one I noticed in my sump last week. When I looked at the pictures, I was shocked to see a second monster. My question is, at what size do they become dangerous? 4", 6", 8"?

+o0zarkawater Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 My question is, at what size do they become dangerous? 4", 6", 8"? Usually shouldn't start bothering much until they get about 6ft or so. http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_worm.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAMF_Aquatics Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 not bad. just if you get stuck by one (trust me it happens... alot.) use duct tape a couple of yanks and they spines come right out. if its irritated a good soaking in vinegar stops any irritation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
