Hard call, but it looks like a fireworm to me. Id take him out.

Rock looks great.
That bristleworm doesnt really look at all like my safe red/orange ones- they are all pretty small. Only my white ones get big.Not sure if I'd trust that one or not.

thank you
hopefully I has some fish and corals by x-mas

Two things:

1. The bristleworms are beneficial detritivores. The definitely are not the coral eating caribbean fireworm. I'd be hoping that they reproduce at a good rate.

2. Hopefully you don't have fish and coral in this tank before Christmas. That would make this tank about a month old. I would never put any fish, coral, or sensitive organism in a tank less than three months of age. Most critters probably shouldn't go in a tank before at least six months. The first several months of a tank an owner should focus on allowing the tank to stabilize and building sustainable populations of meiofauna (like the bristleworms, other worms, copepods, amphipods, etc.). It takes time for a reef tank to stabilize and become healthy. Rushing things will only result in disease and heartache.

Good luck,

MCsaxmaster · Nov 27, 2004

But you just added rock on the 22nd...I'd let things stabilize for a bit.

Cheers,
