Matt.blair24 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 that'll happen, i had an out break not too long ago in my 20G and some had blue coloration like that! haha, but I've never seen one that blue! whenever i catch them i like to torture them in different liquids because they ruin some corals Link to comment

skimlessinseattle Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'll never understand why some people hate bristleworms. That specimen is not a coral predator, rather a beneficial scavenger. Link to comment

patback Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You can't say much about someone drowning worms in various liquids. All of us are guilty of injecting citric acids into living organisms on a daily basis, a long with boiling water and hydrogen peroxide. Ever do a peroxide dip on a rock? Every worm finds his way out to die. Link to comment
