[dawman]

What is a easy way to get rid of it ?

hi there , theres no reason to worry there actually benaficial detritus eaters, that will not harm anything

I keep mine and havev hundreds in my fuge, but as far as keeping them in the display, Im afraid this will be debated for many years to come. If you must remove it, they make traps for them.

 

[dawman]

Over the years I`ve heard good and horror stories about them . After 16 yearI ever had them , that I`ve seen . But if they won`t hurt my fish or corals , I`ll leave them . Hopefully they won`t eat my clowns eggs when they spawn .

 

[dawman]

They seem to be in just that one rock , maybe I`ll just toss it .

dont throw them away put them in your fuge or i bet even someone would be willing to buy them for a low price."

Those are pretty good pictures of the bristleworms. I have one in my tank but if I even come close to the tank, it disappears in a flash!

Red Choris Wrasse will eat bristleworms like crazy.

 

[jtrzerocool]

coral banded shrimp should eat them. however they arnt very social shrimp and can be mean to other tankmates.

Six Line Wrasses.
