I seem to be over run by these worms in a hard tube. So bad that the fish have white strings all over them. So any help from the informative people here wiil be greatly appreciated.:squigglemouth:
 
They're vermetid (sp?) snails, by the sound of it. They suck, but are pretty harmless. A pair of frag clippers (bone cutters) can snip the tubes off the rock... Then pitch them. If you can yank them out of their tubes, fish love to eat them. Super gluing the tubes shut can be effective... but super rank if the tubes pop open later. Manual labor is the bottom line, unfortunately.
 
thats terrible, atleast a little manual work and anger release on these little suckers. good luck on getting them out. keep us updated.

I remember someone telling me about Arrow Crabs as a good choice. They will eat up your bristle worms too. But beware he is a crab and i dont trust them LOL. Arrow Crab
