bristle worms

[colorfan45]

Is it common for everyone to have 3-4 bristle worms under each coral. My worms come and try and take mysis from the corals

Bristle worm population can explode if you overfeed your tank. I used to have a massive (3 - 4 small ones under ever coral/plug) amount of worms. recently I added a Rhomboid and HI Flame wrasse to my tank and they have nearly demolished the entire worm population.

+1....their population is directly dependent on nutrients/food available.
