Are there any cuc that reproduce in tank?

[TWYOUNG]

Are there any cuc members which can reproduce and maintain a population in the home reef aquarium?

Some stomatella and collonista snails, micro brittle starfish, some species of Nassarius and other snails (turbo snail, trochus, etc.), if you count Aquilonastra ("Asterina") starfish they do too.

To my knowledge, most of these can be hit or miss on reproducing in a tank though.

Edit: Knew I forgot one - bristleworms typically reproduce just fine too.

Most of them do. Copepods, bristle worms, several types of snails, brittlestars. I have a lot of water so ive seen others breed after upgrading. Several types of shrimp, large and small breeds of Feather dusters and really big serpent stars.

Thanks, I was thinking more of the ones without a downside rather than bristleworms lol!
