Goonter Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 now i know these eat fireworms and bristleworms, but personally i find them ugly. Should i buy one of these to eat the worms or just leave the worms alone and buy 2 hermits for my 12g? Any comments on either? edit: P.S. can the bristleworms have the stinging effect to if touched? or is that only fireworms? Link to comment
reefone Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 the bristle worms r fine in the tank. they dont hurt anything and r part of the cuc. and do not touch them they will leave bristles in ur hand. if this happens soak ur hand in white vinigar to desolve them. Link to comment

Arrow crabs will eat bristleworms and fireworms, as well as fish when they get bigger. I vote for leaving the bristleworms. Link to comment

BustytheSnowMaam Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I had a very large arrow crab and he never touched a fish. If you think they're ugly though, don't get one, the bristleworms won't hurt anything. Link to comment
Greenstar Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 WHen I used to work at petco, I saw a number nab neon gobies at lights out. Never ever shop at petco. Link to comment
