questions about this rock

[aresgod]

are you sure they are bristtle worms? the ones in the pic definetly arent bristtles so unless they look like something else I would leave them alone

 

[TRe]

[TRe]

i got a good picture today of a huge bristol worm

 

[dbacksrat]

that's a nice bristleworm you got there

when i suggested a trap, I meant DIY

 

[aresgod]

if you have tons of them then get a trap , but a couple is no big deal, i have 4-6

I had just one big one, and it killed and ate my black ocellaris clownfish.

 

[aresgod]

that sucks...i have the little pink and blue ones

i have about 8-10 bristle worms in my 30 gallon and they have done no harm yet. i also have a strange looking tan color bristle worm that came in some rock i gathered from galveston bay/texas coast. it is about 3 inches long and still no threat to my fish/coral so far.

i like to surprise them at night and turn on the lights around 2am. that is when they are all hanging out, just chilling on the rocks. then they run and hide.....muahahaha!!

yah...probably scares the crud out of your fish too......

 

[DustinKeating]

ahah, that's what i was thinking

"i like to surprise them at night and turn on the lights around 2am. that is when they are all hanging out, just chilling on the rocks. then they run and hide...and the clownfish run their faces against the wall and your corals excrete orange fluid"

Only kidding.

yeah, i only have like 3 or 4 in my 38. I spotted the first one about a month ago. The biggest ones are about 1.5" and skinny. They dont really bother me, my fish or corals,anenomes, etc. So they just add life, i think ill leave them in there until the become a problem.

 

[1979camaro]

they are detritovores so nothing bad about that...

hahaha!! no i only have three fish and they are sleeping within the live rock. they are harldy even bothered when the lights come on. too bad i have no corals yet, therefore i have no orange fluid either. lol!
