New critter

[Strykur]

Can anyone ID this thing? It's about 1 1/2 inches long and has legs like a centipede

Thanks,

Scott

Is it almost furry like? It looks sort of like a bristle worm

It's not really fury looking or I would say it was some kind of cucumber. Sorry about the pic, I cant get a closer one as I have no macro lens

looks (in that photo) like a bristle worm.

can you see any oral or anal structures ??

for example most all cuc's extend feeding parts that you can see
may be small but should be moving in and out...

does it "hold on" to things ?

if it does then it might be a small cuc...

is the body round ? flat?

if it has "Jaws" like small hooks/fangs then think "worm"

 

[Strykur]

It is for surely not a bristle worm, but it does have 2 little \ / on the It's front and rear and is more flat then round.

not sure but *caution* there are a few worms that can bite you or a fish...

they (from what I recall reading) are like an isopod and feed with the fangs....

I know I have seen info here at rc before on them... google a bit on I think polychelate worms and you may find the ones I am thinking of...

 

[Strykur]

I actually had a few people tell me that it for surely is a bristle worm and it is ok if I chose to leave it. I put it in the 125 FO tank, it can live there as long as it likes

Thanks Guys

Hey sorry to hijack, but i was wondering what kind of setup you have with your 125 FO. Can you let me know about this? I'm considering setting up a bigger tank, and may be going in that direction. Thanks.
