bristleworms

[rcranf]

I have worms in my tank that are red up top and black at the bottom, and some are all red, does anyone have any idea what type of bristleworms these are

some might be bristleworms and some might be fireworms. a sixline will eat them.

the red bristle worms are harmful until they get big and multiply. But from what ive heard you gotta get the ones that are all grey out.

I have the fireworms in my tank and never had a problem with them. I do know they will eat any left overs that the fish miss, if you see one you most likely have 100's they can be really really small. I have seen one the size of a hair.
the larger ones can eat more and I have heard that they can eat soft corals but I have never had that happen to me. I just pull them out when I see a large one. You can also get a Coral Bandit shrimp he will eat them, I see my guy run around the tank and pull them out and then chow down.
