The Thing!

I've already checked out several hitchhiker forums. Anyone ever seen one of these before? Good/Bad?

TIA

Scale worm, a polychaete closely related to "bristleworms". Very cool and not a problem. Consider yourself lucky to have it.

Cool! I'll have to look closer to see the scales. We have those here in our local waters but the ID is much more obvious. Thanks for the ID

The scales are those black things on the back. They are like disks, yes?

Yes, upon closer inspection while it was in the tank with better lighting I could more clearly see the disks. The scaleworms I normally see are more like the right hand picture you posted where they overlap more like armor.

Thanks again
