Bristleworms outside of rock?!

[Riley]

My girlfriend sent me a picture of her tank this morning and she has maybe 3 or 4 bristleworms on the sandbed wondering around!! Me and her have never seen this before! Ever heard anything or seen anything like this and why it would happen??

Most likely hitchhiked in on some rock. They are not an issue. They actually will eat excess food and waste.

Yea i knew she had them but we have never seen them outside of the rock.. Out on the sand near the glass

I know what you mean. Ours always popped there heads out of the rock and ran back in. possibly our fish scared them off.. What fish if any you got in your reef?
