I saw a weird looking worm in the tank today. It moved like a caterpillar with a body that undulated as it wwent about the substrate. It measured about an inch long. It was flesh (pink) colored and had little pyramid/spikey things coming out of it. I know it's the worst description ever of any living thing, but the pictures I took all were out of focus...

It looked like a one inch long underwater pink caterpllar. Good worm... or bad worm?

That's my worm! He's one color though, no darkness... maybe he's still a baby... I don't know. But thank you very much for the identification. Anybody wanna buy a bristleworm?
