Looks like baby bristle worm

Should I keep it or get rid of it

 

[Anderson3122]

Yes, bristle worm for sure. They will get big very soon.

 

[Anderson3122]

I tried to get rid of them, but they always sneak in somehow..

 

[sfin52]

They are part of the clean up crew. I consider them a vital part of thr aquarium. There are several ways to keep them in check.

Could he be the reason all my anemones died

No bristles worms don't eat coral. Can you give us more information on your tank. Age and parameters?

 

[MaxTremors]

No. I’m guessing, just by how pristinely white your rocks are, that your tank is way too immature to keep an anemone.

I have a 55 gl tank I bought it already set up with rock and 3 shrimp and 2 snails. I've had it about 5 mo's. The rocks are getting some life in them.

No. They're great till they get to big bit easy to trap. Keep that baby.

Not welcomed in myvv by tanks but of no harm. Can easily reach a foot in length

 

[Saltwatergirl40]

So how old does my tank need to be before I try more anemones

Whats nitrates phosphates alk mag and calcium. Your tank is still maturing. Did you start with dry rock? If so your tank is going to take a while to mature. If you have access to real live rock it will speed the maturing up
