Seems that the worm is a harmless Eurythoe complanata!

Jake...that's kind of what I'm thinking...how long did it take for him to get so big.  None of my coral seem to be hurt...I want to keep an eye out but live and let live, yes?]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2004 15:54:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1852&PID=17154&title=look-what-i-found-today#17154 <![CDATA[Look what I found today?! : It is so cool when you loose track...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1852&PID=17127&title=look-what-i-found-today#17127 Author: Jared Wood

It is so cool when you loose track of how many animals are in your tank!  (cool but also a little freaky)  Makes me worry about sticking my fingers down in the dark places in my tank.]]> Sat, 07 Feb 2004 12:21:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1852&PID=17127&title=look-what-i-found-today#17127 <![CDATA[Look what I found today?! : Mark Peterson wrote:Camerofish,...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1852&PID=17118&title=look-what-i-found-today#17118 Author: Jake Pehrson

I will have to disagree with Mark.  I would not remove this worm unless you notice that he is eating you corals (or other things you want to keep).  Most bristle worms are beneficial, even the big ones.  Every once in a while you will find a worm with a taste for corals, but this can occur in the smaller worms also.

If you do end up getting rid of him please let me know.  I would be willing to take him off your hands.

Eric Borneman recently was talking to someone that had remove a large bristle worm from their tank and said "The hole in the leather is common - could be from any number of things, but unlikely the bristle worm...I hate that you removed it. Ones that big are kind of special, IMO."

ffc3...I think he is too big to be one of those...also did a search and found a picture of it... http://www.coralsphere.com/fireworm.html

I'm pretty sure that is what he is!

I've been hit by a fireworm in Malta.  They may have been a different genus or species, but it wasn't too bad.  It was like getting insulation on your arm.  I just like to let things live & grow.  Plants, animals, inverts, fish... these are all good!  I'd be willing to try and let him live in our sump.  Just a thought.

That is exactly what I'd LIKE to do...not sure if that is advisable...anyone?
