Guess who needs a bristleworm trap!

[VintageReefer]

I think I'll order this trap, seems simple enough.
Thanks everyone for all the responses!

I reccomend this one as it has the spot to hold the bait

Knee high stocking, piece of raw fish. Stick fish in stocking in tank at night, come back and remove stocking in a couple hours.

This is the way

Could a sock work? I don't own any stockings and I don't really want to go get any, I might look a little weird buying some :grinning-face-with-sweat:

This is what Amazon is for.

@Slocke This is a tricky question but what wrasse, if any, would take care of the brusleworms and *hopefully leave my little feather dusters alone.

It is tough
I think a smaller wrasse would leave your big ones alone but I doubt any fish or invert will distinguish between the two worms.

Maybe olive snails?

Have you considered an arrow crab? I hear they pluck out the bristle worms like noodles and eat them

Yes, but I'm worried about them getting these guys too

My copperband and wrasse keep them in check. Whenever I move something it's snack time!!

Add 1 frozen cube of food. Put lid on and put at bottom of tank wherever these beasts are choosing to live. At night they will crawl in the funnels and then won’t be able to get out. Repeat nightly until population decimated

Apologies if you posted it already, but do you have a file for this guy available?
I've tried the printed reef one but my snails are too smart for their own good and eat the food themselves...

 

[ChrisfromBrick]

Need a good bristleworm trap, DIY or not I don't care I just need to thin out the population. They've spawned THREE times over the past 3-4 weeks.

you?

i’ll trade you green hair algae for bristle worms

+1 for these traps also. I bought 2 on Amazon, baited each with a small piece of shrimp and a few Piscine pellets and BAM! Creepy buggers.

Tip, attach a string to retrieve the boxes easily and also weight with a rock or your MP40 will relocate your traps in the middle of the night. (ask me how I know). :rolleyes:
