Quick Honey, Get the Flame Thrower! Bristle worms...Love or Hate?

[exnisstech]

You are the perfect candidate for a vintage VW shop. There is at least one in every town. Old technology, old (and respectful) clientele, flex schedules and really, really chill.

I've been out of it for a bit over two years and really don't miss it. I should have made a move like that about 10 years ago. I may still be working lol.

Against my will, I've been forced to think about some of the creepy crawlers we find in our reefs (if you know, you know ). I would certainly put bristle worms in this category. Although they aren't particularly pleasant looking, they can be valuable members of your reef, specifically as members of the CUC. But if you're like me, you don't care how beneficial they are. Grab the flame thrower!

Bristle Worms...Love or Hate?

I bet I know how @BristleWormHater is going to vote...

Knock on wood but... haven't encountered them yet. I named my ginormous spaghetti worm Bob though.

There are many types, big and small.
I have mostly small from what I see. If I get a big one, it's out.
Populations rise and fall with how much there is to scavenge.

They're probably my least favorite CUC member, but I appreciate their hard work. They only bother me if I feel their presence literally! At one point I considered restarting my QT that has live rock when I noticed them but changed my mind to avoid losing all the other benefits in the live rock.

I really don't know. I haven't really noticed them.

I killed two tonight and might have killed my mushroom doing it. But they had to go. One coral to save all others. Worms gotta go

Earthworms of the reef tank. Just don't overfeed and their numbers stay in check. Good guys. And yes, I have also pulled many bristles out of my fingers servicing tanks.
