Bristel Worms

[drobfish]

How do I get rid of Bristel Worms, I read a previous posting and I got more than anyone. I have removed them 8 inches long. Any way I am infested with them all sizes. Haven't seen any real long one lately but thousands of small inch, two inch etc. I think I need some thing to eat them. Thats really hungry. The worms I have are all pinkish in color all sizes, and I have so many they are often out in daylite with lite on. They have bristels down both sides, and are a little flatish. When I was moving to a new tank one time, I found an extremely large one about 8 or ten inches long, unbelieveable. I wish I knew how to post pictures of them. If any one know let me know. <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

you could try to trap some of them and remove some that way. what size tank do you have? what kind of fish? some wrasses and pseudochroms may eat bristle worms.

Get yourself an Arrow Crab they love the little buggers. I know personally I would not want to have all of those bristle worms.

Bristle worms can be a few different colors, but from the ones I've seen are a glossy white color with little white bristles running along the side of them. You never want to touch the bristles either, their bristles can sting pretty bad.

Some people like bristle in tank, some don't. I also caught 2 without much effort in the past, but i also have few more that are hard to catch, and i gave up. here is a link that tells you how to diy traps.
