Bristle worms

[Paul B]

A while ago I added a Shrimp/gobi combination and just today they moved to a home at the back corner of the tank under my overflow skimmer.
Anyway they are in a place where food never gets to so I shot some pellets near them. In less than a minute the entire corner of the tank extending about 5" both ways was a maze of large 6" bristleworms. I knew I had a bunch of them but I never knew I had so many. They were crawling all over the shrimp and gobi who didn't seem to mind.
If anything dies in this tank it wil be gone in minutes. Great scavengers, and I will try to get a better picture.
I would imagine the worms are a larger percentage of the livestock than my fish.
Very cool. :snail:

Can i have one? I have a crap build up in the back up my tank that no snail or hermit wants to eat.

Wow. That's alot. I got 1 in my tank too. I'm suspicious that it killed a few of my stock. Trying to look for it but I got alot of rock work, so looking for it is like looking a needle in a haystack.

Awesome Paul. Great part of the bio-diversity I look for. I'm sure no waste lasts in your tank more than a few minutes.

These have found a home in my overflow. I have some nice sized ones in there.
I always remove the large ones from my display tank though. Just not crazy about them.
I have spaghetti worms in my DT.
