Ok I dont have a picture yet...camera broke, but this is how I can best explain it:
Ita about an inch or a little longer. Brown in color, and has many many many legs. Best thing I can relate it to is a centipede.
Any Ideas?

Common Bristleworm, more than likely you have more than you know. I have them ranging from a centimeter to about 9 inches. It's kind of scarry to see one at night and not ever see the caboose when it come out of a rock.

well, most people think they are beneficial and dont bother with them. however, i did catch one attacking a snail. he may have been hungry though, it was at the end of the tank cycling and i didnt have anything to feed, so no food was put in there. i havent caught any doing that since i got some fish and there have been some "scraps" they can eat.
Chances are if it was happened while you were cycling your tank the snail was already dead. Snails aren't always the most hardy creatures. I have lost snails any time i ever had a big fluctuation in water quality over the years. Not all of them but they do seem to die more often when water params change.crsswift70 wrote:well, most people think they are beneficial and dont bother with them. however, i did catch one attacking a snail. he may have been hungry though, it was at the end of the tank cycling and i didnt have anything to feed, so no food was put in there. i havent caught any doing that since i got some fish and there have been some "scraps" they can eat.
