"worms"

[jessesoto33]

I was feeding my tank, and low and behold I saw a couple of worms coming out under one of my blasto's, how do I get rid of these guy's? Can I use some kind of coral cleaners? I have a couple of them, and what is RTN. I have reef pure coral dip & conditioner made by WM, and it say's it attacks RTN.

I had my experience with an emerald crab before, never again! One time when I was trying to get rid of him, I was pulling him with some tweezers, and he was holding on to a 1 pound rock, and I was lifting up the rock with him in between the tweezers, and the rock, man that guy was strong!!!

In this hobby you can only learn so much at a time, what ever is going on in your tank is what you post about (most of the time). And I have never seen a bristle worm in my tank, untill now! there for only heard about them, not really how to get rid of the!

LOL, do you know everything there is to know about this hobby??? or are you still learning also???:aetsch:

 

[gumbii]

just leave them alone...



i have hundred's of bristle worms... never seen them bother anything before... i'd watch out for eucnid worms, or flat worms...


anyways... a radiant wrasse would work... also some dotty backs like pseudochromi... but they are the antichrist in neon colors...

dude, Save your money. the best way to get rid of them is by getting a Lady stocking from the 99cent store. Place some food in the stocking and place it aound the area you saw the worms. Their body will get stuck on the stocking as they try to get the food.lol

Then you can just toss out the stocking. Easy!
