Ive been searching all over for the last few days after finding a bristle worm in my tank. He came out when a rock fell while cleaning and I was so alarmed I pulled him out. Upon searching, he appears to be a bristle worm and I havent been able to find any others in the tank at night in the last 3 days.
My question as the thread title refers to is how big do these get and if they are large is there a danger? I measured him out when I put it on a table and it measures over 11 inches long when stretched out. When irritated he is still over 3 inches long and I am timid to put something this size back in my tank. He is the largest inhabitant of the tank with exception of maybe one of the spaghetti worms I have. Is he still safe, or too big for my 46 gallon tank? Im ready to put him back in or get rid of him after 3 days of looking at him.
