Bristle Worm

[The_Gryphon]

Anyone know of a good spot to view a pic of a bristle(sp?) worm? I think I may have spotted two on a tonga branch I have that has some shrooms on it. Just noticed something small in the tank refracting red and green light like an extremely sharp shard of glass. There are 2 that look like heads protruding out of the branch with long tongues waving back and forth and then of course the shiny needle things. My first guess is bristle worm, any ideas or links please.

That is right!! Congrats. I will have to come check it out. I have started to set up the 200g. My levels are good, but I am taking it slow. I am waiting on my refuguim to arrive, but I have a w/d working now. I can't wait to get this baby totally up and running.
