Found a worm

Tonight I was feeding my purple lobster and three large serpent stars fresh[IMG][/IMG] salmon when this worm came crawling out if the sand. It's kind of creepy

Just a bristleworm, not anything bad. Don't touch, it can sting, but it's beneficial and probably food for your lobster.

Bristle worms are good scavengers and the number in your tank should stabilize along with the amount of detritus you build up. And as Betta said your lobsters will probably make a meal of him eventually.
