worms:S

[michelle]

On a new piece of live rock I purchased I have discovered a worm. I just saw its silouhette in the crevice of the rock, so, I can't even describe it let alone get a picture, but i was wondering if anyone can tell me if worms are generally a good or bad thing? should I try to get the peice of rock out to check it out closer? Thanks, I know it's a vague question. Anyone know a website where i can see the types of worms to see what it could be if i do get a better look

Most worms are reef safe.What you were describing sounds like a bristleworm-reef safe.

Maybe one of these pics might resemble what you have.....Melev's Reef - Visual Identification

Thank you for the website. From the brief glimpse I got of the worm I think it may be a peanut worm. It didn't appear to have any bristles...and seened to move as these are described to move.

Freak is right, most worms are fine, and in fact do an excellent job cleaning up your tank for you.
