Neha Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I ordered pearl weed from co op and I found this worm while washing my plants. Can anybody identify this? What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppysnail Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Looks a bit large to be a detritus worm but I am NOT an expert at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) Looks okay. But this is why I dip all incoming plants. Proof positive in your video. If interested, 10ml hydrogen peroxide 3% per 1 gallon of dechlorinated water for no more than 10 minutes. Then rinse in fresh dechlorinated water.

Streetwise Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It looks interesting and harmless. I enjoy the random life in aquariums, if it doesn’t harm any inhabitants. In marine, I hate bristle worms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll call your bristle worm and raise you a fire worm... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer V Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I vote for detritus worms as well. They eat plant and animal waste and are harmless little things, although a little unnerving at first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
