hitchhikers!!

[super stooge]

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.

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.
