Hi I was looking into my tank tonight (9 months up and running) And I see this lil fella. It doesnt look anywhere near any bristleworm I ever seen. And it moved "centipede ish" Is it a Centipede if so do I want it in there?


Other is a big snail I got from some stor just as a hey want 1 sure why not tag it along for free. Its 2-3 inches long n lives in the sandbed covered moving a few inches every night picture is taken only night in 5 months it was up cruising glass like a real playah:spin1:

The first one is a onenone fulgida worm. You may want to try to get rid of it as they hunt kill snails/clams. If you ever noticed giant balls of mucus in your tank that is from the worm secreting the mucus to paralyze its prey.

I have one of those in a tank of mine and man is it a pain to trap!
 
Peter is right about the worm. Great photo - it's rare to see one with the antennae showing (I downloaded it for teaching, I hope that's okay). mscarpena has had extensive experience with trapping & destroying Oenone. Check out his Oenone posts or PM him for advice.

So 2x nasty bastards in my tank then siigh the snail has been a good little trooper for now so I'll let him go to my sump.

Iæll get some tips on catching the oenone

As for the picture just use it at will it was a late night OoO look point n shoot with my phone cam.

I been looking a little around seems arrow crabbs will eat em... But that seems a lil risky. Any "friendly" Wrasse or sumthin I could get me? Or even a trap of sorts? or is it back to whisky tweezers and buckets of time?
