I bought a bag of chaetos at my LFS and there seems to be theres little feather duster like things on my LR now. I thought they looked like dandelion spore...

i see these guys everywhere (other LFS) so it shouldnt be a problem right?

heres a bad pic of some...(i can get better ones since theres a huge one that just popped up.

i doubt they'll get as big as a hawaiian feather duster. my hitchhiker worms are mainly white with brown specks, and the biggest i've seen is about the size of a dime. but i have a LOT of them. i also have some brownish-red fan worms that get about the size of quarters, and i also have some red fan worms that only get about 5 mm in diameter. i've also got a horseshoe worm, it's bright red, and pretty cool looking, only one of those though. here's a pic i found on google, looks just like mine.



my rock is extremely live. i'm pretty sure the big one's are a different specie and rarely are hitchhikers, although u might be lucky and have some, it's hard to tell honestly.
