I like that aquascape!
Your life is, a possible bristle worm (kinda hard to tell from the pic), good stuff ther, I consider them a great part of my clean up crew.
2nd life pic is a feather duster, another good thing and harmless filter feeder.
 
thanks it took me a few hours for the aquascaping. built it all then took a picture and then took it down left the base then added the sand. and built it back up
 
Yes that is a bristle worm like Scott said. Great looking tank and set up. I really like it.
 
Looks good. Nice job planning everything out.

What kind of sand is that? Almost looks like the beach sand they sell at my local builders supply store.

edit: Mike, I am seeing things or did you just change your avatar like 5 mins ago?

Yes Larry, I just changed it. LOL
Thatguy, Your LR looks like its really teeming full of life. Looks pretty high quality.
 
melosu58 i got the lr from a guy in san diego who wanted bigger lr so he sold me his at 2 dollars a pound i bought 30lbs worth. really well kept. coraline algae moved really fast onto other rocks. great buy.

cccapt- i bought the sand at home depot its natural play sand i like it. it has the beach feeling...
 
Looks good. I like the how the LR is setup and you have good flow. I think your turbos might starve as i see no algea for them. Plus turbo snails are distructive , they always knock things like coral and rock over. A few is OK but i wouldnt get any more.
Not sure about the worm but this might help.Look in the left collum and press the hitch hicker tab.

there is plenty of algae in there my rocks have been a 50g trash can and the other rocks have been in my 30g tank for over a month. they do move fast though for being snails
