are lugworms reef safe

[ihglifelol]

i my tank, i saw some worm deposits on the sand. since it was cleaning the sand. I thought it was a peanut worm, however, when i looked on the glass, i saw a small 1 and a half inch lugworm.

probably hitchhiked as a larvae. are lugworms reef safe. if not, he would make great bait for juvenile mullet. if he is, ill keep him as i can see his burrow as it is next to the glass

I would say that you have a large janitor in your detrivore crew.  I prefer bristle worms as they are more mobile.

i used to have a lot of bristle worms, but most got eaten by my crabs and grass shrimp. so i just see a few ocasionly. its interesting to see him digging as i see him through the glass. 

i wonder when it will get huge and be my largest clean up crew member. good thing its in a large tank
