What is this?

Think that I have some weird worm on this rock. Looks like it fans out. Is it good or bad?

Feather duster worms. Perfectly harmless and great filter feeders.

What does it mean to be a filter feeder?

"An aquatic animal that feeds on particles or small organisms strained out of water by circulating them through its system: includes most of the stationary feeders, as clams, oysters, barnacles, corals, sea squirts, and sponges."

Yep, they are perfectly normal and a healthy part of your aquarium. It's going to get more and more trippy as your tank matures more... Bristle worms, spaghetti worms, nudibranch, asterinas and the list just keeps going.... The things that will show up in your tank will blow your mind!!

Great can't wait. Just moved my tank to a larger one so more money now. Need sand and more rock.
