Can I get an I.d in this guy to see if he stays, gets sumped or dispatched. It's about 10cm long and doesnt look like my bristle worms. Thanks!

Garden variety bristle worm. Great part of clean up crew but don't touch as they have a nasty sting. I've never been stung though & I'm always moving rocks around in some tank or other. They're pretty shy and need rock to live in.

I've got one that's almost 20cm long and about 1cm wide, not counting legs. Sometimes I can hand feed it.

There are different kinds of bristleworms, saw this on Youtube the other day where the guy shows two types, one which you can touch without getting the bristles in your finger:

We had a bristle worm emerge and swim around, only to get sucked into the power heads... Hmmm. I wonder if that contributed to my spike.. Must try to upload video.
