    I just read your thread and saw your "little"worm.  I have more information on your little worm that might just scare the crap out of you. This little worm can grow well over 7 ft and wreck havoc in your tank.  I battled mine and won and luckily haven't had any sign of others, but if your rock is from Fiji.. well.. look out.  Your worm is called and eunicid worm. 
It took me awhile to finally figure out what it was and get more info on it.  Follow the link and you will get a lot of valuable info.  I actually contacted the guy in Oregon that had the 7ft worm.  Here is a copy of the email that he sent back to answer some of my questions.  checkl out the abc.net link that I provided at the end of the link.  Its quite a striking photo of your worm all grown up in action.  Good luck. 
 
 
 
Copy of return email from "The worm incident" guy in oregon
 
 
1) These worms usually come in on Fiji liverock.
 
2) they are very good at hiding within the rock.....huge worms can develop unnoticed even in small tanks. They are nocturnal.
 
3) I recently pulled another one out since I was losing livestock again....this one was only 5 feet long though.
 
4) they reproduce through eggs/sperm that are located in the tail. When the time is right, the last foot or so of the tail breaks off and swims for the surface where it releases its cargo. Local Fijians consider these tail sections good eats.
 
5) I often see many small 5 inch long worms in the bottom of the Fiji liverock boxes at my LFS.
 
7) If you have liverock from Fiji, you probably have these worms
 
8) they have no predators.

They were fairly short, and I thought they were more like little legs...so millipedes.  What are they?]]> Wed, 03 Jan 2007 00:29:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15798&PID=140082&title=worm-killed-i-d-pic#140082 <![CDATA[Worm Killed, I.D.?

I think I have seen those in a book I have. Do they have lots of legs more like millipedes? Or are those more like feelers on the sides?]]> Tue, 02 Jan 2007 22:25:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15798&PID=140055&title=worm-killed-i-d-pic#140055 <![CDATA[Worm Killed, I.D.?

I am not doubting the resources we have on this board, but LeslieH on reef central really seems to know her worms.  You might post this over there and see if she can help.  ]]> Tue, 02 Jan 2007 11:35:17 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15798&PID=139931&title=worm-killed-i-d-pic#139931 <![CDATA[Worm Killed, I.D.?

Nice pic!

Yeh that's not a standard bristleworm for sure.  The worm debate wars on!
