Common bristleworm and wile not welcomed in my tank, my largest was about 14". many regard them as clean up crew as they eat uneaten food and detritus

Put it back if you want your tank filled with them. TBH, I am sure it already is if you found one.

I have found small ones and moved them to the sump though I’m sure bigger ones are around just haven’t seen them. Picked up a rock looking for one my crabs and this guy was under it.

Be careful, because if you get the bristles stuck in you, it hurts very, very bad.

They can get over a foot long. I've had some monsters over the years. A few of my current fish like nibbling them though so there aren't as many. Beneficial but creepy and can hurt to touch

Will do

Yikes that's huge. Would scare the bajesus out of me the fiesta time seeing it.

When that long do they stay relatively thin? I've seen those monster Hobbits that just keep coming out and gave me the willies. Can remember the youtube video (nor do I want to)

Theyre fairly thin opposed to a bobbit worm
