hitchhikers!!
hi i just bought some live rock today and so far i have noticed:
some small very thin bright red worms moving slowly over the rock. a small bright stubby worm that looks surprisingly like a catapillar. it has what looks like hairs sticking out all over it. i can see a few things of what i think are feather duster worms but i dont really have a clue. there is a long white tube attatched to the rock with 2 lil brown feather duster things poking out the top. i also have a smaller red one and tan one. these are all that i have noticed so far. does any1 have any idea what these are from my vague descriptions and could these be considered dangerous, if so what action should i take?

the thing that looks like a catapillar is probably a bristleworm. The small thin bright red worm could be a baby one as well. You can do a search for that.
You can check out http://www.melevsreef.com/id/ for a pretty good list of critters. |

Someone gave me this link for IDing worm hitchhikers, more comprehensive than Melev's...

In case you have more Hitchhiker identifying needs. This is where FleeVT link came from.

From the description I would guess spagetti worms, bristle worm, and feather dusters/tube worms. All good.
