reef worm...?
first of all if this is the wrong place for this question, im sorry, i wasn't sure where to put it.
i bought a second SW tank today for 100 bucks...w\ 20 lbs of live rock, 2 lbs of live sand, lots of hermit crabs, snails, 2 clowns, 1 firefish, 1 lined wrasse, 1 parasite cleaner shrimp, and another shrimp, one zoe coral, and one anemone (not sure what kind) so anyway, i couldn't pass up the deal for all of the stuff. i just started my 30g tank a little over a month ago, all is going good so far, so anyway, im going to use the tank that i bought today as a quarentine tank, and put all the livestock in my tank. but as i was going through the live rocks and inspecting them, i found a couple of these worms (see pic below) im not sure what kind it is, is it good bad or neither...i have read a little about Bristle Worms, but im not sure if that is what this is or not....any help?

Unless you have berry the bristle worm I wouldn't worry. They clean the rocks out.

Throw that thing out - anything that big that is not a coral or a fish is probably a nuisance. YUK.
