The problem is such thata fiery worms eat australian scolymia! In the past they had climbed in her mouth for food, and now they have become arrogant at all. Slipped through her stone and skeleton and sitting inside, eating her food and the fabric.What to do?

I do not know if fire worms are more aggressive than regular bristle worms. But when i have used a bristle worm trap to catch them. Other than that and maybe dipping and moving the scoly until it is caught.

Bristle worms multiply based on food source. Sure fire worms are the same.

i would dip it. do you have any bayer advanced insect killer? it is a pesticide that comes in a liquid form.

i use about a teaspoon in about 16 oz of water. let sit for 10 minutes, and then soak in clean salt water for 10 minutes. i then change the saltwater out with clean water and repeat the process several times to make sure you get it all off before placing the coral back into your tank. this would take care of the worms in the scoly, but not your tank....
