mandrins

[cmdr]

will mandrinfish eat small brisleworms. I have more brisleworms in my aquarium than any other species

I've heard that arrow crabs will eat them. I don't know about mandarins though.

As I posted in the fish page,,,I doubt it.They have bristles as a protection against being eaten...

manderians are rather specific in their diet....copepods/amphipods(maybe frozen brine/mysis)....try a 6-line wrasse for munching bristle worms.....mine had 'em under control ... that is until he went for an extended carpet surfing expediation.....*_^

i saw my manderin eat a bristle worm once. i don't think he liked it very much!!! he spit it out and didn't close his mouth for about a half hour or so!!!OUCH!!
