Hairy tentacle coming from liverock

[1armfish]

Hey guys,

Tried searching and couldn’t find much.

It’s a long tentacle that slowly creeps out of the liverock to grab shrimp. Closest thing I found was possibly a brittle star. However, I only see one tentacle and the hair doesn’t look like a brittle star imo.

Any help would be great.

Dare you to just reach in and grab it bare handed! Jk, they can be good as long as they are smaller, can get pretty large!

Thanks Everyone! Indeed it looks to be a bristle worm!

My girlfriend is convinced its a baby sea monster though.

I think I’ll leave the little guy in there for now.

lol even if you wanted to get rid of it, good luck. also dont touch them unless you want your finger to feel like you touched a stove top.
