bristle worms.

i know theyre not bad for youre tank but they are annoying. personally i do not think they look good in any tank.also i heard that if you see one you shouldnt try to take it out because you probably have 20- 50 more. ive seen 3 in the past week. i was wondering if there are any fish that pick them off. any advice is welcome thanks.

You are correct...Dottybacks will also...I just looked that up

IDK about the 20-50 thing...BUT I do know they mostly come out at night...or if food is close by....JUST REMEMBER.....they are a beneficial (AND FREE) part of your cuc

my neighbor told me about the 20-50 thing. he has two 75's a 40 and two 20's that have been running for years. he said he once had one that was a foot long and they only eat dead things so not to worry about them. but personally i think they look disgusting haha
