We have a 92 gallon corner tank. The tank is an upgrade from our 75 gallon tank. In the live rock there are quite a few bristleworms, the largest being about 4-5 inches long. They don't bother me too much, but they seem to have grown quite a bit since we got the tank second hand 3 months ago, and possibly multiplied. Is this bad? Should we try to get rid of them when we can. I know they keep the tank clean, my husband hates them. We almost bought a bristleworm trap but it was $20.

There are also lots of things that look like little grey brittlestars. They mostly stay in the rock, ocasionally we see one on the glass. There are lots a lots of them, is this OK. When we feed the fish their little arms stick out of the rock and wave around. There are quite a few in with the zoanthid polyps, will this bother them?

Thanks,
Marcie

Thanks for the info. Are those shrimp safe with other shrimp? We have quite a few peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp.

Someone said arrow crabs are good too, but they are way to spiderish to me.

Any fish that eat bristle worms but are safe with corals shrimp and crabs?

A six line wrasse will also eat bristle worms. He won't mess with any of your other critters.
