| Re: Worms In Tank...help!!!!! Agreed on both points. Bristleworms are not necessarily bad...the fireworms can be a pain as they have hundreds of stickly things on their sides. Mostly, they just burrow through your sand and scavenge for leftover food and detritus. If they start to populate and overtake your tank, their is a type of shrimp that will delight in eating them...I forget what kind it is.

| Re: Worms In Tank...help!!!!! Coral banded shrimp just love bristle worms and flat worms. They look great in the tank but be careful when adding fish because several species that are otherwise reef safe, just love to eat shrimp. |
