Worm driving me crazy!!

[joe]

ok so i have this bristle worm(i think) in my tank, not sure how he got there.
he is about 7 inches and is driving me crazy.
recentlly i have been seeing him steal food rite out of the mouths of my blastos. he just a moment ago drilled his spiky head into my blasto and stole the food. he is consistentlly doing this and its a PITA.

Plus yeasterday i was moving things around and he perked himself up shot this murky liquid out of his "mouth" rite at my hand, and i have no idea what it is.
any one ever hear about these worms shooting out liqud like this? is it bad for me? i dindt seam to be bad for the corals.

no the final question:
HOW DO I GET IT OUT OF MY TANK!!!!!:headache: :headache:

help..
thanks guys

I had a monster bristle worm in my old office tank. we laso had a rather large mantis. the worm would go into the mantis hole from time to time but no death to either.

while I didn't try this, I imagine it would work since the worm sounds rather brave and aggressive.

get a long feeder stick - the kind with a point on the end. feed the tank and spear the worm. remove and photograph it for the benefit of the mr readers.

well if he's that daring. get a long plastic tube and close one end. put some food in there and just wait. once he's in take the tube out

find the rock its hiding in. take rock out. or set a trap at night.

Perhaps you should taunt it... It may become so cross that it will make a mistake.

Joe...
I've done this in the beginning when I thought BW's were a pest.
If your's is indeed a BW:
take a wiffle ball (plastic balls with the holes), put a piece of shrimp inside & wrap the ball in piece of panty hose.
When trying to get to the food, their bristles will get caught up in the net & you can fish it out.

There are other traps on the market, but I've never tried them.

phil thats one naughty solution :lol: How the hell did you come up with putting pantyhose with a wiffleball? hmmmm
