Worms!! Bad?! Good?! :(

[Convict2161]

Found tiny worms, thin and long. Well to me there long. Like maybe 2 inches. And they appear to have scales or something on them. There not smooth by any means. This thing just slithered into the sand and popped up crawling on top of a coral then bam! In the sand again.

Now I see all kinds of tunnels in the sand bed. I went with a deeper sand bed 4" after reading up on different sand be methods and such I decided to go with a deeper sand bed. Are this worms bad? They kinda look like bristle worms from the google pictures.





This is a google pic but thought it may help. It looks like this only grey in color and not as much detail. And it's FAST!

I'll try and get a picture.

Yeah. Everybody kinda freaks out about these when they first see em. Bristleworms are actually good for the tank. No big deal. Try not to touch them cause they can cause an irritation, like touching thistle

If u see them get big it would be a good idea to remove them, large ones can hurt your other creatures
