You didn't mention that you had a scooter blenny. If you don't have a refugium, you will need to continue feeding that fish mysis shrimp, assuming it will eat it. Do you see your scooter eating frozen food or no? Here's a picture of my red scooter.  | |

FYI. Polycheate worms are an important portion of the ecosystem of your marine tank. There possitive effects far out weight any negativity. I would really advise you dont do anything to kill them. There in their for a reason. You have an abundance of them for a reason. More than likely they are a result of your husbandry. Its nearly futile to remove one or two because for every one you see you probably have 10.
The Scooter Blenny as its incorrectly called is actually a scooter Dragonet that is a close relative of the Madarin Dragonet. They feed almost exclusively on copepods. Generally there only recommended for large well established systems with refugiums. I do know of people who get them to eat frozen but they are few and far between.

Yes Bristleworms are a species of Polycheate worms. As are the commonly confused Fireworms. They look similar to bristleworms but these are the worms that sting. | |
