Bristleworm Trap DIY

[Hermie]

Materials:
1/8" Extruded PVC board
plastic water bottle
plastic craft mesh
Hot glue
Super Glue
Rubber bands

This design was inspired by a Gallery Aquatica Bristleworm video (youtube). I pretty much freewheeled the dimensions based on where the trap is going to be placed in my tank. My design features 2 entrances aside from the mesh itself. The bait is held inside a plastic bottle cap cut and glued on one side with mesh, so as to be reusable. The bait simply sits inside the container. Good hunting!

As good bristle worms are I would prefer if my tank didn't have them, they gross looking things and don't fancy getting bristles stuck in hand if ever decide get filter socks or grab my sponge out sump and squeeze out etc.
Remind me of earth worms which also find gross ( even though pick them up and pretend to put them in my mouth,but this trying teach 4 year old not be scared of stuff ) but if amount of different pods and worms I already have in tank even after dipping all corals ought to go by im sure in time they be in my tank pffft .

But thanks for sharing.will save this to my build thread FOR WHEN NEEDED ha ha

With my hands lol. Used a box cutter with a clean blade and cut the pieces.
