bang guy Moderator May 20, 2003 #2 Cirratulid sp. Extremely beneficial detrivore, this worm can do it all. Congrats!
ian_in_tx New Member May 20, 2003 #3 thanks Bang Guy. Is it likely to get munched by a Scooter Blenny or 2-Spot Goby?

nerdy Member May 21, 2003 #5 I have never seen these. Why are they beneficial? Are they like bristle worms?
bang guy Moderator May 27, 2003 #6 They are one of the few critters that can eat detritus off the surface and under the sand. Their reproduction rate is very high if an abundance of detritus is available. The population will climb until the population is in line with the food supply.
