I managed to survive stray voltage and palytoxins but reefing finally got me

That’s what I told the doctors at the emergency room but they didn’t listenAir dry ,dab with duct tape.
Have you tried the elmer’s glue trick? Drip it on, let it dry and peel it off. Works great.Been there. Sucks. Strong tape, tweezers, jewelers pliers all work
I'm confused, if you knew this already, why the emergency room trip? (Unless I'm being whooshed, lol).That’s what I told the doctors at the emergency room but they didn’t listen
No.You went to ER?
I don’t think that is possibleThis is why I have banned them from my tank. Hope your finger heals up quick!
So I was at the LFS last week and a guy wanted to buy some chaeto. The LFS refused to sell it to him because he said he saw a bristle worm in it. The guy laughed and said he didn’t care about that, but he still wouldn’t sell him any. Strange times we live in.I don’t think that is possible
Maybe the bristle worm in the cheto was a fire worm?So I was at the LFS last week and a guy wanted to buy some chaeto. The LFS refused to sell it to him because he said he saw a bristle worm in it.

I doubt they can tell the difference any better than all us other non-biologists.Maybe the bristle worm in the cheto was a fire worm?
I’ve seen a few vids with crazy amounts crawling all over. At that point, they’re a pest.Oh and my point was… there’s definitely a “bristleworms are pests” trend happening lately. Especially on social media.
They are just a natural part of your reef aquarium. They do crawl all over at night.I’ve seen a few vids with crazy amounts crawling all over. At that point, they’re a pest.

They are trying to tell you you’re over-feeding and behind on maintenance. Population only goes wild when there’s a food source.I’ve seen a few vids with crazy amounts crawling all over. At that point, they’re a pest.
If there are that many bristle worms that they are crawling all over the tank all of the time then something else is wrong. They (like most other fauna), will find an equilibrium based on available food.That’s not what I’m talking about.
Im glad to hear that. Im also glad for this thread. Im terribly sorry op got poked. It looks uncomfortable. I knew bristle worms could cause injury but i didnt know the extent and i just put bristle worms in my gravel to keep it stirred up. I put 6 spaghetti worms in because my tank was started with dry rock my hitchhiker situation is nonexsistant. Ive been thinking maybe ive made a terrible mistake and in a year ill be pulling monsters out left and right. I do feed very heavy but my cuc is very diverse so excess food isnt a concern.If there are that many bristle worms that they are crawling all over the tank all of the time then something else is wrong.
