So as i thought before that the worm i had seen was a bristle worm I believe I'm mistaken. This worm almost resembles a underwater centipede, it has a head with small whiskers and a bunch of small legs. He is too quick to get a picture of but i have been looking on a couple different hitch hiker sites and no one seems to have him on there site. Any Ideas??

Yeah, he is so skidish that it is going to be very near impossible for me to get a pic of him. All i can say is he looks like a centipede, kinda.

this is a type of polychaete worm (i know it as Ragworm) found in the waters around the uk, could go as far as the med, most inverts in uk waters do. lives in the sand feeding on dead and decaying matter. good for bait, so your fish should eat it if you can catch it, or they may get it themselves. there will be hundreds of similar tropical versions. probably will even have the same habits.
you could remove it if you want. but it will eat any decaying matter in your tank, and stir up the sandbed. so the choice is yours. keep any eye on things, any damage to corals fish ect...
