These are polychaete worms which usually just scavenge a tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I've got 2 light colored (pinkish/tannish?) bristleworms in there that look different... so I don't think it's a bristleworm... I dunno... thanks tho

I'm sure there are some that are nice and dark. I don't know of any other marine Annelids with bristles on them, so it just doesn't seem like there's any other possibility.
