But now you might have a bristleworm explosion!
I had a huge worm population from the time I got the rocks..can't say I'm looking forward to more..

Do you have a CBS shrmp?
Mine does an incredible job of eating those bristle worms.
Keeps the population in check
I'd have to get a CBS that weighs about 4 pounds to take care of all these worms I have now, never mind a bunch of new ones!
Seriously, according to the articles 'they' say bristleworm populations are self limiting based upon the availability of a food source..and since I control part of that food souce I will be feeding less...

In those pics, is that the eggs or the sperm?
It's both eggs & pink sperm!
All I know is my skimmer was going beserk until this morning...what a mess!
