I am starting to see quit a few brissle worms popping out of several pieces of live rock . I am wondering if I should be concerned about this or not? Are there reef safe fish that will dine on these nasty thing and not mess anything else up? Thanks in advance. CM-

A couple bristle worms aren't a problem provided they're not attacking corals, etc. They sell traps to catch them. Don't try to catch them in your bare hands & if you try to use tweezers on them, don't tear them in pieces.

I had one brissle worm in my tank and I used a TB(turkey baster) to suck him right out. I dont know if I was lucky or what but it did work.

Depending on what you have or want to have in your tank: sixline wrasse, neon dottyback, arrow crab, coral banded shrimp...

I saw a pic of a coral banded shrimp chowing down a bristle worm.Eating it like corn on te cob.

I do love my CBS, I've noticed it eating a worm once. At least it is doing what I paid for. I do threaten my functional livestock when they do not perform. Thell them I will take them back for store credit and hire about 10 illegal workers to do the same job for cheaper.

Probably find those at Home Depot. Mariachi music in the background...or maybe some Ricky Martin.
