Are these works good or bad

*worms

that little one looks like a bristle worm. They are good at eating crap in the tank like left over food and what-not. Those big ones may just be really big bristle worms too. Hopefully somebody else will chime in too. Be careful though, and don't touch them with bare fingers!

eeeewwwwww:scared:

Thanks now by mistake I used twizzers n ripped one or two of them in half would they still b alive?

 

[melypr1985]

from what I've heard.... yes. but I've never messed with them. I just leave them alone in my tank. So I don't know from personal experience. Although, that huge one would probably have to go. That's gross!

All three are good worms (bristle) ... if you ripped one, no problem.
I bet if you went to your tank about 30 min after lights out, you would have more then you ever thought you did :)

 

[HarlemsYandel]

So quick question should I get rid of the big work or leave it

I have about 100 to 400 of those worms in my tank for years, they never did any harm to my coral or fish. They help my tank by cleaning up the extra food that floats to the bottom of the tank. Yes dont touch them they have stinging barbs that break off into your skin that sting and can become infected.

Thanks

I think the big one is a Eunice worm which can be very destructive and grow very big. I had one that looked like that in my tank that was about 6' long and ate a lot of my corals before I figured out what was happening. Long story short...86 that bugger.

Yeah, make absolutely sure they are not eunicid worms. If you can say that for sure, then keep them. Honestly, they don't look like harmless bristleworms to me...

 

[leptang]

no that isnt a Eunice aphroditois (Bobbit worm) unless you see five antennae with sharp teeth its not Eunice. The movie Tremors is based off of that worm. it really looks like a bristle worm to me.

We have a few in our tank and someone recommended adding a wrasse and we haven't seen any since

 

[HarlemsYandel]

What's that wrasse
