Hithchiker ID Please

[devildog999]

Buddy fragged me off a piece of his GSP. Drip acclimated and gave a good look... didn't take much, found a crap ton of these worms on it. Haven't encountered many hitchhikers so the sooner I can get an ID the better. Need to decide quick if GSP is a goner or can go in my DT.

Pics below...

Given they are the only hitchhiker I am seeing, if they are not a bad hitchhiker, there is no reason to not keep. If bad hiker... def gone

some of what you have are common bristle worms. Better pictures (closer up) would help

I can try, but that's about as good as I was able to get.

How big of a frag did he give you for that many worms to fall off. His tank must be loaded with them

One piece is the size of a monopoly dollar bill and the other the size of a silver dollar. I was absolutely shocked by how many of those critters were living on that small an area.

Your friend tank needs a good cleaning. To have that many pack in that little space means there is a ton of food for them
