redheadedcoral Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 This morning when I woke up there was about 30 bristle worm larvae crawling on the glass in my tank. Is this bad? How do I go about getting rid of them?? 1 Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 That's fine, and usually good. Bristleworms are harmless detritivores, and you want a healthy population of them in the background to clean up detritus. If you overfeed a ton, you'll end up with way too many, but even that is only an aesthetic issue. You want yours to reproduce so that you have a decent few of 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment

Tired Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Bobbit worms are very rare. Eunicids in general are more common, but many are harmless. They're not hard to tell apart. Eunicids are longer, more visibly segmented, and have smaller spines. They also have a crown of 'tentacles' at one end. 1 Quote Link to comment
