worm like creatures in live rock

[tex75gallontnk]

I have what appears to be several worm like creatures comming out of my live rock. They have started eating some of my fish. I'm not sure if they are killing my fish or if they are just eating the dead.They appear to be bristle worms. Is this posible and should i be concerned Please advise. My tank has been doing so well and now I have lost 6 or 7 fish. 3 tangs and 3 or 4 clowns.

If they are bristle worms they are not killing your fish, somthing else is, how long has your tank be running for? what are your water peramiters? how big is your tank? and what are your tank inhabitants? and are your clowns the same breed of clown? if i am reading your name right a 75 gal is way to small for 3 or 4 tangs. by the way welcome to the boards!

Seems like alot of fish for that size tank.How long has it been up and running?were any of those new additions?have you tested your water?Sounds like something is killing them or your water is killing them.Just my 2cents

water peramiters are all normal. i have 7 small damsels and 3 percula clowns. yes its a 75 gallon tank. are the worms somthing i should worry about? There are ALOT of them, throughout my LR.

That's too subjective, post the actual parameters so we can help you out. Has anything changed? Those worms are likely just scavengers, eating the dead. Can you post any pics?
