Hello new guy here.

Hi all , hope you all are have a great start off to the new week and it being cooler out side.. I live in Noblesville IN. and have a 72 gal. Bow Front have a few corals and few fish . I do have a question for you I noticed this morning have have quite a few bristle worms in my tank. I took out a few live rocks and got off 4 but I know I have more as I seen 1 go under some on my big rock that I have most of my corals on. I have tried to read up on it and tell me what you think ?? I am going to try the pantie hose and shrimp at night , or what do you think is best ?? And could you tell me wish fish is best to take care of the one's I don't catch..

Thanks for your time..

 

why are you trying to get rid of them? They are beneficial unless they are HUGE

 

have some big one's. about 5-6"

 

Welcome to 3reef.

Bristleworm populations are self regulating based on available food. Feeding less equals decreased populations. As previously mentioned the vast majority are harmless and good members of the clean up crew even when large.

Some wrasses will eat them, and Arrow Crabs love them. Unfortunately buying one tank inhabitant to eat or control another does not always work out.

 

welcome to 3reef! Bristle worms freak me out - just sayin'
