Nice one....Fire or Bristle

Well, i've touched bristleworms with no problem before but i never saw his face, it retreated into the rock.
The spines weren't irritating and i was able to remove them with electrical tape

 

[nigerbang]

glad you are okay..

 

[alix2.0]

agh that sucks.
i can never get them out with tape. i either use super glue or just leave them it.

 

[oceanlover]

Oh, owh! Be sure to wash with betadine or some other disinfectant.
I use tweezers if I pick up a worm. You just have to be sure you don't squeeze too hard or you have two worms!

actually, you have one dead worm. they dont regenerate.
sometimes one half will live, but it depends where its been severed.

I used some old electrical tape that I found in a drawer down here - it was really gunky and sticky, probably wouldn't use it for anything electrical now but it did the trick!!

There's a 80% chance those bristles are pure Calcium carbonate. Soaking the finger in undiluted vinegar will remove them, even below the skin.
If you beat the odds and they are Silicate based bristles then elmers glue is the best bet.

 

[alix2.0]

ive tried vinegar thinking they were calcium a couple times and it never worked. maybe im just unlucky.

 

[mboswell1982]

what kinda vinegar, and its gotta be undiluted as well did u mix it with water? LOL

 

[alix2.0]

undiluted white vinegar.
