Hitchhikers in Chaeto

[Jeremy165]

Hi all,

I purchased some chaeto from my LFS to put in my refugium. When I got home and opened the plastic bag, I noticed some worms in the chaeto. I meticulously went through the strands and pulled out every worm I could. Then I put the chaeto in my QT. I wish that I did a coral dip or freshwater dip for the chaeto before putting it in my QT. Because now if there was something in the chaeto, its in my QT.

Before putting the chaeto in my DT refugium, I will definietly do a coral dip and a freshwater dip.

But what do you think of these red worms. Baddies? Thanks!

They look like bristle worms to me. They are good guys. Helps clean up leftover food in the tank

Oh really? I thought these were more red than bristle worms I've seen in the past.

they look like bristle worms to me too, maybe a closer up photo? it's fine to remove them regardless, and freshwater dip of course.
