Holly Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 the loch ness bristle looked 4 miles long when it was extending 5" out onto the sand and disappearing into macro, but it pulled short when I plucked it out .. and now it's in the sump and it's longer than when it was on dry land, but not the kilometer that my brain imagined LOL Prob 6-7" long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one in my tank.[/quote'] WOW, you are completely right, I guess you can see the "spikes" in the pic on the left, which is why you might have thought it was a bristle worm. They are great sand sifters and detritus eatters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADBaxter Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well.. that is a nice find! Hope it recovers... Holly sure grabed that sucker hard with the pliers I would imagine... Make sure it stays alive before putting back in tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 ACK! Well, he's OK. He's in the sump munching away--I just checked. No wonder he seemed so big for a worm LOL! Thanks guys! I'll toss him back into the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
