What is That!!!

[TropicalRespect]

Sorry no picture.
A couple days ago, in my 3 gallon, i saw a long worm coming out of under my live rock. It was sticking out about 2 inches and it was pinkish in color, covered in white hairs. I havent seen it since, even after rearranging my rock.
What could it be? A bristle worm?

Sounds like a bristleworm. I bet you have several in there. They are good cleaners, no need to worry.

Oh ya, I saw it eating red slime algea off the sand like crazy before returning back to the rock. Do bristle worms eat red slime?

Ive got some over 5 inches in my reef and they clean up just as well as the small ones...also bristle worms are okay to touch from what ive read. its fireworms u dont wanna touch.
