So today I was doing my routine observations of the tank and notice this worm winding through my rock. From what I could see its over an inch long, round, has those visible white strips and does not appear to be segmented. Any ideas? Should I pull it? If it won't hurt anything I'd like to keep it.

Hmmm...if its not segmented to the eye and has no bristles, it could be a ribbon worm. Not sure what all you have in your tank right now but if you aren't sure and not sure if you want to keep it, you could always remove it and put it in QT. Here's a general info link incase it is... There's something like 600 or 900 different kinds!

If you find out what it is let us know! I'm curious!
