    Bristle worms are good for the tank!

    but to get them gone you can use pantyhose with Krille @ night leave it in all night. and should have a hose full in the am

    Turky baster and suck them out. Or pull out the rock with them in it and run hot water out of you sink onto it. They will scurry out

    some wrasses, pseudochromis, and the pantyhose will work

    If you can see two, you've got a heck of a lot more.
    They're detrivores and good for the tank.
    In fifteen years, with all the tanks I have, I've never removed one intentionally.

    Agreed. Nature is full of ugly animals but that doesn't mean that they're bad :lol:
