Bristle worm would be my guess as well. Never seen them in the sand though. Normally I've spotted them in the rocks.

I'm going to guess a spaghetti worm. I have several bristles and spaghettis in my tank and always see the spaghettis in the sand and never see the bristles in the sand.

I would say some variety of Saltwater Worm. :lol: Either case it's good.

 

[Smitty]

Yep, you have bristleworms, I have them in my sandbed against the glass, & rocks...good cuc.

Going on the 2 tone color of the pic,I'll say its a bristle worm to.:D

One easy way to tell if it's a Bristle worm is to pick it up and see if it stings you. Won't hurt too muck; you'll just be sore a couple days. There'll be little fine hair like pieces (the bristles) that will be stuck in your fingers. :shock:

 

[yote]

HAHAH
Yeah.If you've ever handled fiberglass insulation,thats what the bristles feel like.

 

[garydm]

ill take your word at that....they can stay in the sand and rocks

 

[bobby]

Are they almost always in the same place or do they move around? Do you see any sting like thing on the top of the sand?

That's definitely a tiny bristleworm.
