 bristle worm eaters Any fish, inverts, etc. that eat bristle worms? Not many, but want to get rid of what's left. Arrow crab? Told they are aggressive to fish and other crabs, snails, etc. Any advice will be most appreciated.  |

| I have a six line and I have very rarely seen a bristle worm. I love the looks and constant movement of my six line!!! He is one of my favorites. Of course I have twelve fish and twelve favorites. |

| Re: bristle worm eaters they can kill anemones but invading its stomach and removing its food also will harass some corals or may even kill, but bristle worms do help by eating all left over food :P lol |

| Re: bristle worm eaters Bristle worms clean the tank of excess foods and waste, they are benefical to your tanks, I dunno why anyone wants to get rid of them ??? I have a pair of coral banded shrimps and I still see bristle worms in my tank at night, maybe they keep them in check but they sure dont eat em all.. |
