Life on my rock!

[ArvinTheMAC]

Hey guys I just bought some liverock from my LFS, after about a day there has been some stuff
coming out of the rocks. I've read up and I believe I have fireworms but theres also other stuff.
I have a video here, please help me identify if these are going to be problems or not.
I just posted the video so if the quality is low, it should fix itself in time. Thanks

Are you sure you have fireworms or are they bristleworms?

Are you sure you have fireworms or are they bristleworms?

lolol now i dont know :( haha, they both look the same. What can I do, should i exterminate them or leave them be?

 

[Bifferwine]

Leave them be. Most likely they are plain old bristleworms, which are very beneficial cleaners for your sand and rock.

 

[ArvinTheMAC]

Buy what if they're the other kind?

 

[Bifferwine]

Highly unlikely. In 10 years in this hobby, I've never seen someone get a fireworm. They look different. Bristleworms are pink or tan. Fireworms are usually bright red.

I didnt see any flatworms in your video.
I did see a ball anemone (hitch hiker #2) and a barnacles (hitch hiker #1).
