Not something you see everyday

Found this guy wandering around on the glass this evening. These guys have really exploded in my tank over the last 3 months or so and are fun to look at as they send feelers out looking for food. (It's not the best shot though. I REALLY need a macro lens!)

Looks more like a Cirratulid (hair worm) than the Terebellid(Spaghetti worm). What's the difference between these species can be found here

Yeah, that's what happens to this poor worms when wrasses, or Pseudochromis are introduced. They disappear quick...

As far as not seen these everyday.., I do see them everyday..



Robb, please excuse me for not complementing your shot earlier. It is a nice capture.
