Bristle Worm Removal

[Oliver]

i just came home from work and looked at my tank and i see 2 big Bristle Worm 6in+ how can i get them out?

Leave them there they are good scavengers. Just don't touch them with your bare hands.

What I did was completely kill my live rocks by letting them dry and reseeding them with live rock rubble(extremely small pieces). Only way I know how to get a 100% bristleworm-free tank.

EDIT: Do this separate from your tank! Forgot to mention this.

2nd the leave them pending the size of your tank killing the LR can spike your not. A good idea

 

[BroRage]

shut off your flow..feed the tank.. watch them come out and try to grab them with forceps- or they sell traps for it

Why would you want to get rid of them? :scratchch

Collect them all and offer them to the members on MR. I'm sure LOTS of people will gladly take them off your hands. They are a good part of your ecosystem.

Try using "Trap-Em". It is used to catch bristle worms. It works!

I also vote that you leave them alone, that being said.
I love em, if you catch them I will take them off your hands.
