    During feeding today about 30 seconds after i started feeding about 50-100 bristle worms came scurrying out of one rock got their share and then receded back into the rocks immediately! Is this a huge problem, I have seen them poke out during feeding randomly but never this concentrated in one single spot. Should I be concerned or is this fine...it all happened too quick for me to even get my camera ready.:eek::confused:

    Some people like them. I still think they are pest. Arrow crabs will eat them.
