Some will argue.
Why worry about gha in the fuge.
Like you said a good haven for pods and bristle worms
There is a risk it moves to the dt.
When I harvest the chaeto, I pull the chaeto with gha.

ok so do i just do a normal harvest then but also i read that if it gets covered in gha the cheato can die so should i do a saltwater dip on it to get rid of that part then

The chaeto and gha can coexist.
Just remove extra gha when the fuge needs emptying.

Agree. Think of it as a refugium and an algae scrubber all in one.
