Joshifer September 30, 2016 Share September 30, 2016 It's like. Head diving into the sand. Coming up. And diving again head first. And earlier when I was feeding them. Noticed he had sand On his face like he was eating the sand. Or something in the sand. It's not there anymore at first I panicked and thought it was ick. Is this some kind of behavior. Mating or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunWyrm September 30, 2016 Share September 30, 2016 Itching most likely. Could be ich or not. I wouldn't stress unless other signs appear or he starts hurting himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshifer September 30, 2016 Author Share September 30, 2016 (edited) I found the cause. He ate a bristle worm. Or rubbed up against one. I can see the brown "stingers" He isn't breathing fast. How do I remove the stingers I won't even be able to catch him theirs a million holes he hides in. I mean I can take the rocks out its only 2 big pieces.

SunWyrm September 30, 2016 Share September 30, 2016 (edited) OUCHDon't attempt to remove the bristles. My clowns do this at least once a week; they'll dissolve in a couple days, no prob.It's like when you get bristled. It sucks for a couple days, and you don't want to touch anything, but there's no lasting damage. Edited September 30, 2016 by SunWyrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshifer September 30, 2016 Author Share September 30, 2016 I never got bristled nor do I plan to. I use grabbers and tongs for everything. If my hands need to go in and grab rock I wear gloves. I don't know what's in there. All my rock came out of 5+ year old huge tanks. I know theirs a 6 inch bristle worm. Or was. Haven't seen it since I got the CBS.
