Kewl Bill I got these guys all over in my tank, in the sand bed and in the rocks. I have seen a ccouple bristleworms (very small) in the tank a few months ago, but havent seen them since.

WOW! That is such a great picture!!
Hey that's the same thing I have on one of my live rocks!! Only the worms are white with teeny tiny red stripes on them and each individual worm is thinner then a human hair... NEATO! Now I know what they are!
Do these guys breed easily?

Raz and Steve there are all kinds(species) of worms, all these guys are good and yes they will breed like crazy if they get enough food. Once you get a good population of infauna going its amazing how much you can feeed with out problems

Here's another worm pic. I showed this one to the folks on #thereeftank. It's a bristle worm and a cepopod (sp?).
Of course you can always see my latest pics at http://cereal.mv.com/digipics

Hey Raz, those 'individual worms' are actually
the feeding tentacles of a single worm
Bill, what camera are you using?
Impressive resolution and color! |

Takes two to tango, Raz. They are broadcast spawners, meaning they all upchuck eggs and gametes into the water and let em mingle and turn plankton.
How big? I've personally seen some over three feet long, and I can assure you they get bigger. The longest tentacles I've personally seen were over three and a half feet in length. Woo-haa.
