When I pulled the filter cartridge from an Emperor 400 to rinse it during a water change today I found a live earthworm on the floss. I'm not sure what to make of this..

Someone could have feed it to your fish without you knowing? Does not explain why its in your filter.

My best guess here is that somehow or another, a viable earthworm egg got into the tank and survived. Possible vectors for the egg could have been rocks collected from outside, your gravel, plants, or even your fish food I suppose.

So do carbon filters when you just keep rinsing them out.
