04svtfoci January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 I was in my kitchen last night an looked out to my tank and saw something out of place as i approached i got close enough to see a bristleworm very thin maybe 4inch exposed out of a rock crevice. I have no experience with them, he retracted back in before i could get a pic for an ID. It was very slender smaller around than your average drinking straw, pale in color with the tiny tufts of bristles. I have never seen him before until last night, i know they can cause damage. Any advice on what if any action i should take toward removal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Having a few of them in the tank is not bad as they help to clean the tank. As long as the tank is kept clean there will not be enough food to create a population issue. If you want to remove it there are several traps being sold or you can make one.

04svtfoci January 26, 2012 Author Share January 26, 2012 I just saw some of the traps i had a few minutes so i was doing some reading on them.
