risk1994 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Im suddenly seeing lots of these things all over my tank. Anything to be concerned about? I also never had any pods before. I added some ZOO2, now theyre everywhere along with these worm things. Only benefit I can see is that now Im too grossed out to stick my hand in there anymore. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Standard bristle worm. Generally a harmless scavenger. You are right about your hands though. If you touch them those bristles will be embedded into your skin which is irritating. Think of fiberglass insulation with a gentle numbing/burning sensation. If you want to get rid of them there are traps you can buy. Also if you take some pantyhose put some meaty food in there they get tangled in the fine mesh and you can pull them out. Tweezers or gloves are effective as well. Link to comment
