Just done a Water Change! Here’s an FTS, I don’t think anyone would be able to believe there’s 7 fish in here haha. Still no sign of the Pink Streak so I don’t think I’ll be adding another fish in here for Atleast 2-3 weeks.
How do you keep a sustainable pod population with that many wrasses in a relatively small tank?Just done a Water Change!

I add to it each week, I know it’s a big population as it went Atleast 2 months without any addition of pods (My LFS never had any in). I still add to it weekly just in case as I have Atleast 3-4 pod eaters, one of which is potentially worse than a mandy.How do you keep a sustainable pod population with that many wrasses in a relatively small tank?
That’s what I’m assuming as there’s not even a small sign of a fish death, whereas when my old guy died there were scales all over one side of the tank.Just to hopefully make you feel better, I Had a blue streak goby that disappeared for 12 days. I just saw it today in a little cave.
so maybe your pink streak is alive and just hiding.
Hope for the best!
did you have a visual on the head?Well, this is “great”. I saw this thing in the tank last night (2am this morning). So far the assumption is Bobbitworm. It moved using its legs and instead of bristleworms looking like they just glide along the sand this was full on walking and fast. It vanished a few seconds after this photo was taken and hasn’t been seen since.![]()
I saw the head… couldn’t get a photo of it because of the realisation.did you have a visual on the head?
then it sounds like a bobbit worm to me. good luck, and try your best not to chop it up in the tank.I saw the head… couldn’t get a photo of it because of the realisation.
3 antennae and was almost like a rounded off head. Nothing like a bristleworm, I’ve combatted 4 bobbitworms before but this looked different, similar but different.
Tonight I’ll leave the lights off for a few minutes and then see if I can hunt him down - Or set my main room light to red as supposedly inverts can’t see red light but I’m not 100% sure on that.
That’s my biggest fear, hopefully when I get a photo of the head we can figure out whether it is a definite bobbitworm. I cant think of any other worm that looks like that though other than the Eunicid species.then it sounds like a bobbit worm to me. good luck, and try your best not to chop it up in the tank.
I’m scared for when I pull this guy out… I mean, the small specimen was enough to already scare me (Pulling it out of the filter sock was a nightmare - I had to get a skewer to pull it off).Well, this is “great”.

So what is your plan now?Well this is worrying… I fished this out of my Filter Sock. No way this is the actual specimen I found a few nights back.

99% certain this is a eunice species.
Not a clue, knowing what’s in there and having lost a 3’ tank due to a large group of them in the past is making the plan difficult. I think it’s just having to get lucky at night and grabbing it then.So what is your plan now?
Wish you the best of luck then!Not a clue, knowing what’s in there and having lost a 3’ tank due to a large group of them in the past is making the plan difficult. I think it’s just having to get lucky at night and grabbing it then.
