Bristleworms shouldn't even be in the poll as a pest IMO.

Id add dinoflagellates to the top of that list, never seen someone tear down their tank from bryopsis or debersia, but have seen many give up with dinos.


Ill take bryopsis /gha

I choose bubble algae because my emerald crab keeps up with it. My bristle worms are
Massive and I believe they’re eating my chaeto. I also just don’t like the way they look.

I picked bristle worms.... cause I have 12 Wrasses so bristle worms don't stand a chance! LOL!

I also wouldn’t count bristle worms as pests. I have a ton in my sump and fuge. My wrasses keep them in check in the display.

Bristle worms are helpful :) they should probably not be on the poll.

Out of the actual pests I added majanos to one of my tanks on purpose. They are pretty green and pink! Paid 35 bux to get em shipped to me too! :)

Absolutely.....you are so right! On occasion I have seen one or two, but never paid any attention to them. They have never bothered anything, and my Wrasses took care of them before they were out of control anyway. ;)
