Fireworms are part of the bristle worm family. Fireworms can eat hard and soft corals. I'd try to get that one out of there. Other bristleworms are good for the above but not that one.

the bristleworm he showed the picture of is a scavenger and will likely not harm corals at all, however will eat uneaten food and detritus. I have them in my tank and nothing has done a better job of keeping the bed clean, besides my goby of course. never had a coral bothered by them either.

well i have a my tank already its just that it doesn't have any LR or LS. and its fish only tank. I want to switch it up but i don't know how long i am able to leave my fish in some kind of container in order for the water to cycle and i don't know anything about the cycle stuff. I'm not going to switch it though until the beginning of may because i'm at college right now so i don't want to put that responsibility on my parents. But when i do i'm sure you'll see my threads on here!
