fireworms.....the debate rages on!

[zoonut]

I have fire worms. I have looked at pics all over the internet, and that is what they are. They are pretty small at this point, and aren't really bothering anything, in fact they are good little cleaners. Right?

However, can you have too many? How can I trap some of them out of there? I would rather find a natural predator. Anyone know what kind of crab will control their population?

Thanks for any input!

doing a search on google it tells me its a bristleworm. y would you want to remove them when they are good cleaners and will not harm your corals. but if you want to keep them in check a coral banded shrimp will eat them. keep in mind google said fireworm is a bristleworm. if what you have is different looking then i wouldnt know what to to tell you
