Xj reefing Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 My purple fire fish hides in its hole most of the time but tonight I saw a large bristle worm in its hole with it and am wondering if bristle worms can attack fish. I took a video of the fish after the worm retreated and noticed that it’s gill was looking raised up. What could it be or is this normal? https://instagram.com/p/CPAudVAF0yb/ Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I'm not sure about its gill. But unless the bristleworm is very large, it shouldn't pose a threat to your fish. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xj reefing Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 How large would say would be very large? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 This fish probably wasn't in any danger when it was alive, but this worm might be considered very large: However, in general, a healthy fish shouldn't be in any danger from bristleworms. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
DevilDuck Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Whoa, it swallowed that fish like a snake! I guess it did its job very well as part of the CUC. 1 Quote Link to comment
