Hi all! I was inspecting my tank tonight after doing some tests.
I found macro algeas! and a very tiny green tube worm or 2. and some kind of worm.
It doesn't have the spines on the side, they seem to be all over it and it is a red/pink color.

I really need to find a good camera. I couldn't get a very good close up but if anyone can id it for me Id appreciate it! :)

looks like a polycheate worm (bristle worm), harmless scavenger.

Thanks guys! I suspected thats what it was but it looks a little different than the ones in all the pics.
I am not sure it is as red as a fireworm. Ill be keeping my eye out though.
