Weird Worm Thing

[Tetra1]

Ok, I attached my halide light and I have turned it on. I have a brown worm that wriggles erratically in my tank right now. What is this thing. I was reading identification of worms and I am seeing that it could be a possible juvenile ribbon worm. Any thoughts on this?

:shock:

Sorry no luck in opening the movie.
It's probably just a bristle worm. They are the most common.

Yeah, I think it may be a bristleworm too. Google that -- does it look like that?

 

[Tetra1]

It is not a bristle worm or flatworm. This thing looks like a ribbon and twirls around in the water. After it twirls it goes to the live rock and crawls around int the holes and etc.

try googling peanut worms or spaghetti worms, might be one of those two then

 

[Tetra1]

Nope doesn't look like that either.

I have those in my rock. they are small peanut worms. Nothing to worry about. If you don't like them there are fish that eat them. I cant remember which ones though.

Tetra1 - I did a yahoo image search for Nemertean (ribbon worm) and it pulls up quite a few varieties. Not sure if that'll help you ID the thing...
