Burningbaal Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 So I've heard a lot about bristles over the years but never had one...I hear about people trying to kill/trap them... Should I try? I'm planning to add stony corals, snails and a couple small fish if that makes a difference Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J320AZ using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonny. Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's up to you really. Bristle worms eat detritus. They have never bothered anything in my tank either and the sand is always cleanest by their dens. They're ugly, usually come out at night, and really only pose a threat to your finger if your moving rocks around. But even then it's just a poke lol. Still hurts though. I've seen posts of people asking for them! So do you need to get rid of it for the safety of your tank? No. If they give you the willies and you can't stand them then sure by a trap and get rid of it. Jmo, hope it helps.

dunpeal Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Bristle worms are part of the clean up crew CUC in my experience. Also a food source for some fish, crabs, shrimp, and your drunk buddy. Tell him it's a tequila worm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Someone needs to find that video of the guy cleaning out a huge blockage of them from his drain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
