NepTuNe-UsD Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hey all. I found a huge bristleworm in my 20g last night right next one of my corals. The coral didnt seem to be irritated in any way. Should I be worried at all of this creature? It is quite large and has white bristles on its sides. It is pinkish in color and about 7 inches in length... that i know of. I was thinking of putting an arrow crab in there but am not sure if the arrow will disturb any other of my reef inhabitants. Please advise! Thanks. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I've got huge bristle worms in my tank as well. After doing some research on them and keeping a close eye on all my corals/livestock I just let them be. They come out at night all the time, so if I wanted to remove them, I could just grab them out with plastic tongs no problem. And I live a block away from usd.. I can see the slim gym from my backyard.. lol Link to comment
NepTuNe-UsD Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 Yeah actually my tank has been established for about a year now and I really have had no problems with the bristleworm. I think Ill just let it be as well. Thanks for the info NaNo. BTW... where you @ Aquatic Warehouse the other day getting credit for one of your corals?? Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hmm.. maybe? I'm at Aquatic Warehouse EVERYDAY (literally..) I've been mistaken as an employee a couple times.. Link to comment
MrKrispy Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Ha! totally off topic, I have been there like 3 times in the last week or so, keep forgetting stuff or they were out of epoxy. I am dumb, I went on MOnday twice, it is crazy because they get the fish shipments in... Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Yeah, I was there yesterday as well. Didn't really see anything that caught my eye.. although they got a shipment in of green bta's that looked extremely nice. Link to comment
chufa Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 If it looks like this then it is not bad. Fireworms, another type of bristleworm, on the other hand, are bad as they eat coral. They are fatter , more brightly colored, and with more prominent bristles. Link to comment
NepTuNe-UsD Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 That would be the culprit... thanks for the ID. BTW to all the Aquatic Warehouse junkies.. if you ever see a dirty black F150 with a USD sticker on the back that would be me. Give a holla. Link to comment

DeskJockey Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Its kinda weird if you think about it but we've probably all been there at the exact same time & we dont even know it. Heck probably more than once or twice Link to comment
NepTuNe-UsD Posted July 30, 2003 Author Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thats hilarious! What a coincidence. If you ever see my truck there again and you decide to to holla out my name... just look for the guy ducking behind koi pond . Hahah jk Jimmy. Hope to run into you all sometime! Link to comment
