Any idea what is this?



Some sort of star fish or brittle star? Keep or remove??


Super disgusting bristleworm. I had to break the LR to remove it.

1st pic look like some kind of bristle worm? if I not wrong there are many many many kinds so whatever you see wormlike with hair just take it to be one.

2nd pic, donno, zoos?

3rd pic, that's one big worm but what's wrong with it? supposed to be beneficial to your tank.

the first pic does look like some sort of bristle worm, 2nd pic looks like some polyps, 3rd one, i have no idea what it is.

for 2nd pic I was referring to the red brittle star in the center of the photo. I think it's a brittle star.

The 3rd picture I also got no idea but can't find it in the tank already. I guess when in doubt just remove it heheh.

Hi Wei Leong,

- Both 1 & 2 u got the answers. As for 3, I can't really use the knowledge of Marine to answer u. But from an Angler point of view (I often go fishing), it seems like a 'Seaworm' that anglers often used to buy from Tackle shop to go fishing Dun throw it away, can used it for fishing trips )

- If it is really sea worm, than no need to throw away, cos fish will feast on it

Cheers
Marlin
