Feather Duster Worm Question

[adroitmind]

I really like feather duster worms and my LFS store has some very large Hawaiian ones. My question is regarding my Six Line Wrasse. I know they eat worms. Will he bother a worm of this size? What are everyones experiences regarding keeping these two animals in the same tank?

yes, they will pick on the feather dusters unfortunately. i had a friend who's duster got eaten by his 6 line wrase.

I have a large Hawaiian feather duster in my tank and my sixline wrasse doesn't bother it. Doesn't pay it any attention. I've never seen him pick at it, so

Some people may have sixlines that pick on them, but mine doesn't.

I think i might try it. My LFS store knows me really well and i should let me bring it back for full credit if it is getting picked on. These things are HUGE. The crowns are like 6-7 inches across and they are selling them for $9.99 and i usually get a better deal than list. Here goes nothing.

Unfortunately it's hit or miss with a six line wrasse, never know you might end up with a bully.

exactly. mine never did, chances are they wont, but you never know. To be sure it doesn't FEED THE WRASSE. They love to eat, adn if they are picking on anythin, its usually cause they are hungry, not necessarily because they like FD
