    No, not true, you should not feed them Blood Worm either. They are not natural to the sea, why would you feed it to your fish?

    In addition to what Reefing Madness has written, keep in mind what they eat -- they eat decaying matter of the earth. Imagine what is inside their intestinal tracks. You don't want that in your fish. Ornamental marine fishes don't eat land decaying matter.

    The land earthworm does not have the proper nutrients that our marine fish need to live.
