I do not know what it is but it is a "weird thing"

[alexwolf]

as thick as a pencil???? thats pretty big

[mathias]

do you feed it peanuts?

[mathias]

or put a small water mouse in there and it should scare it out of your tank :) but then you need a water cat to get the mouse and then a dogfish to get the cat...

are they reef safe

thats good i have seen a few of those in my tank and i was a little cocerned. I just recently took the plunge into converting my once fish only tank into a reef

glad someone asked this ?, i've noticed several of those, but have no camera, and figured a description would't quite do.

Thanks Joshua, it looked pretty wicked last night when we found it...
It's definately a peanut worm, I looked on the net for pictures of some. The site below says they average 10cm (some get 72cm) so I'm hoping this one is done growing, seeing as how we saw 4in of it and it's already knocking over a lot of my coral...guess I'll be gluing them down :|

It's kind of neat having a small tank like this...it has its very own night life, I've also seen a 4-5in bristle worm, which isn't anything to brag about except for the fact that it stretches over the majority of the tank when it come out :)

Here is some more info on on peanut worms for those who want it:
