Bristleworm?
I know the photo is not that great, need to get a better digital camera, but does this look like a bristleworm? I have at least two of these in my fuge on my one month old set up. They would have come in with the Marshall Island LR I put in the sump. I checked the Worm Hitchhikers page and could not find an exact match but I have to assume there are dozens of species out there. I just want to make sure they are benign and helpful. Thanks.

Looks like one of worms in my tank.... either bristle or spaghetti. In any case, it is rather beneficial fish poo eater. Keep him!

Definitely a bristleworm. Great scavengers. No worries.
