Didn't OD have one of those in a little nano setup. It had been a while since I was at OD and this was about 3 years ago or so.

Yeah, one that you never want to do any cleaning. Can you imagine your hand in the tank with this guy in there?

Hey these are from Starcraft 2 I believe they are from the Zerg race.

Great. I had nightmares about bristleworms seeking revenge on me for flushing some of them... and now this right before I go to bed???!! The title of the forum was too intriguing not to look though... but yeah... thats disgusting... Haha.

I had TWO of them from some LR I bought from a board member... and he told me there were "no pests"!!! LOL!! I luckily found them (although at different times) during removing the rock for aquascaping, drilling and chiseling. Cut both worms in half, pulled out the bodies from their lairs with tweezers and flushed the ugly suckers! They looked more like the dull colored long one (i believe 3rd pic down in link) than the more colorful one in the previous pic and video.

I think the only thing I lost to them was some peppermint shrimp (and maybe a few clean-up crew snails/hermits).

I hope I don't have any of those in my tank I just lost a pair of peppermint shrimp this last week that had been in my tank for months.
