    bristle worms correct?

    [​IMG][​IMG]and here i was thinking the tank was doing so well :/

    i have a ton of baby snails, limpets, microstars, asterina stars, pods, etc. now this :( how can i kill them? i got a coral banded shrimp that i added yesterday but...it ignored them today maybe its full? any other way of getting rid of these little buggers?

    Also think i spotted a peanut worm, do i need to kill that too?

    bristles worms are mostly fine in your tank IMO. thats a very nicely colored one too. ive got a bunch also, and theyre mostly scavengers of detritus.

    They are fine they will eat uneaten food and detritus. The snail shell on the left side of the pic,if you've got some of these alive they are terrible predators of clams and snails. I found out the hard way.
