Great page. I was about to start a thread for assistance with an id. Found three of theese suckers in the bottom of my water change bucket. I rinse the filter floss out in the use water. Im guessing that's were they were. Oh well back in they go.

I always find them in any type of floss if it's in my system, along with a bunch of other bugs.

Pretty cool. Dropped them in and one fish got a snack

Well now that my tank is doing ok. I just found a hitch hiker in my purple rock. When i get too close it pulls himself in like a feather duster. I never had a duster in here..but it kind of fans out and hides when i get close

It looks like Bryozoan to me, a good filter feeder.

Bristleworm. Eats left over garbage in your tank. Will also eat any dead fish or dead snails in your tank that are hidden from you.
