bristle worm in filter?

[viviana]

tried looking for my bristle worm on my rock...after maybe 20 minutes...I shined the light onto my filter and it's in the filter?! I have the aqua clear 3 stage filter...hes visible where the white sponge is...should I remove it?

Nope, it's fine there.
But if you want to remove it use forceps or a grabber.

will it end up coming back out with the flow? haha i was wondering how it even got INTO the filter

When you clean your filter next time you can let him back into the tank.
Some hobbyist think they are ugly looking but they are super beneficial for your ecosystem in the tank.

Welcome to the forum. If you want to remove it thats up to you, it could possibly die in there. Just watch your fingers =)
