    Red face Do bristle worms eat corals and whats the best way to trap them?

    Got a fatty bristle worm in my tank, probably a lot more then I think. Also I see these little worms come out of the rocks and hang onto the rock and chill in the current, are those bristle worms also? at my LFS they told me to poor carbonated water and they will come out and use twizers but im sure there is a better way. Whats the best way to trap them?

    Bristle Worms are beneficial to the tank, no reason to kill them or remove them unless you have a FireBristle Worm. Those are really nasty ones. But to dwindle down the crowd you have, cut down on the feedings you do. That will take down the numbers if they don't have anything to scavenge. But if you still want them out, you can take out the rock and out it inot a extreme saline water, bake the rock. Or use a trap.

    bristles will eat food. that can be a good or bad thing. they will also eat dead stuff.
