RFA vs Bristle Worm?

[Captain45]

I came home from work to one of my nems looking super ticked off. Appears it's covered in tons of bristles. I'm guessing it got into a scrub with a bristle worm?

Anyone know if they can self heal through an encounter of this sort?

They look like big bristles; what size is the nem?

Nem on a happy day is about 2 to 3 inches across. However I have 2 bristle worms that are about 6-8" in length

Well that's certainly a large bristleworm.. Not a fireworm right? Bristles just seem long to me but I'm no expert. Not exactly stating a fireworm is an issue either if you choose to have on in your tank...just being curious

Haha yeah, they are big ones, these bristle worms would definitely be a boss fight if they were in a video game.

Here is one when the tank was young and still maturing

I know everyone was on the edge of their seat, so after 3 days of reeling it's body inside and out, the RFA survived.

I was hoping for an update thanks! Are you on worm watch now?
