Ok so when I set up my cube I bought live rock from someone on craigslist. Turned out the rock was infested with bristle worms. I freaked out because I think they're nasty and one was even 8 inches long or more. I grabbed it with some kitchen tongs to pull it out. The thing grabbed hold with all its might and I ended up ripping out a big chunk of torso in an explosion of blood while the front and back were still holding to the rock. It was nasty >.>;; Anyway long story short I pulled out all the live rock and left it outside to bake in the sun for 2 weeks. I sifted the sand looking for worms until I was satisfied.
I bought new live rock and put that in with plans to recycle the old rock and use it too. Well I am the paranoid type and check my tank at night in case I see worms. Guess what I found... I am not sure what type of worm this is but I need to know please. This was walking on my glass and looks like a baby bristle to me. It's not even an inch long and that's the best I could do for pics with out waking my fishes.
