Orange worm thing on a zoa

[Gummy Ranger]

Popped my new zoa off it’s plug, it broke in half and this orange worm came out. Any idea what it is? Good or bad?

Bristleworm. Good for cleanup, but many find them ugly. I don’t mind.

well, I may have inadvertently glued him down. We'll see I guess.

He came out and tried to run the super-glue gauntlet as I was attaching to the rock. I ended up setting him free and he quickly disappeared. Maybe I should have left him, lol.

These are good CUC members. They do much like terrestrial earthworms by breaking down waste into stuff that is usable in the water. Careful though, some species can sting. Mine don't (at least I have never been stung and they are all over).

I’m sure you have more, great CUC. Just don’t overfeed because you will have them everywhere....

i personally do not want them in my tank, creep me out man. BUT, they are a fantastic CUC and do some real work on the tank, if you can stand the sight of them

Usually don’t see them unless you pick up a rock or look in a night. If you start seeing a bunch during the day then you might have a problem...lol
