I harvested some chaeto and was planning on taking it down to the lfs. I have a enough to fully over stuff a 10 gallon tank with little room left. It is covered in spirorbid worms. I am not sure if the lfs will take the chaeto is it is all covered in them. Is there a way of getting them off or has anybody noticed if their lfs's are picky about the cleanliness of their chaeto or not? No bristleworms just spirorbid worms

For the sake of the health of the hobby, please toss it out and don't make your problem someone else's too.

I'm fairly new to the hobby but everything I've read is that Spirorbid worms are a sign of a healthy tank and are considered a neutral to good hitchhiker.

I'd be honest with your LFS about your Chaeto and ask them if they want it.
