Just put some new live rock in my fairly new tank. I discovered this worm. Any idea what it is? Good or bad?
Thanks for the help.

To me its hard to tell, but a free bump so someone my chime in on. I always remove things I dont know what there are until I get a good ID on it.

I had about 4 of those things in my batch of live Rock. It looks like some type of worm. I don't think you want them in your tank either. Luckily I was curing my rock when I discovered them. I am also giving you a bump for this also.
You don't have the rock in your tank, do you?

yeah, it's in the tank already. But this is the only one. I still can pull the worm out.

Looks like a dead/stressed peanut worm that was exposed when the rock was broken. Its a very common sight that I see when working with a lot of LR. Peanut worms are good to have as they pump water in and out of the rock through the burrows they create.
