I know regular bristle worms are no harm, but i found this little guy who moves really fast while wiggling like a sidewinder snake, he is a redish color with a bright yellow dot on every segment of his body, and his head area is longer than the others too, none of the other BW look like him... this is the best pic i could get of him i'm still trying to get a better one.

this isnt a peanut worm i have lots of those i know what they are, this is a bristle worm just a different kind than the little pink colored ones that are normally in most people tanks. this one is still has the fine bristles up both sides of it, its just darker red color with a yellow dot on the very center of each segment down its back. i have seen only 2 like this in my tank so far different sizes, unfortunately i could only catch the tiny one. so getting its markings on pic was really hard to do. but even the head area of these bristle worms is different than the normal ones, the head area is clear not colored and 3 times longer than that of the basic bristle worm.
