Identification help please

[agreeive?fish]

I just found this in my tank.

It looks exactly like a canadian night crawler (the types of worms many people use for fishing bait) EXCEPT for it is light tan in color...about six inches long


It is in my live rock at present...nothing has been added to the tank in 5 to 6 months

Sorry i donot have acess to a camera

sounds like a butter worm if you have corals take it out

Why does everybody hate on wurms? Take all your fish out, before the poor bastard gets eaten!

Could be a peanut worm. If so, they are harmless to corals so don't freak. Really wish you could get a picture, that would result in a quick identification.

or could be a coral worm does it have small legs like a millipede????? if so get rid of it quick it will destroy all of your corals... heres a good story about one in a large reef tank

mind you if it was eating all my corals and destroying the hard work you put into that tank, i'd take great pleasure of tearing it from its home and killing the little b*strd.
